Chevrolet 1533X2 30-cwt trucks

[Bob Carriere]

I feel like we have beencovering the definition of "sunshine"........

The more you dig/read/find the more you confused you are like a google search find...

so the heading of this thread should be possibly/matbe/perhaps a "30424" which is there plain as sunshine in one publication but not listed in the major assembly book. Glad no one is taking offence at the various new info coming up.

So the question begs to be asked.....are all LRDG 2 speed axles......??? how do we tell them apart...... do we have an inside cab picture that shows an adadded lever on the tranny gear shift lever???

....and now I know where I canfind a 2 speed rear axle....... if the yeard has not rolled everything for crap.... Grant nugg nugg wink wink do you remember????..... I still have a piece of rusted flaked black paint under my RH knuckle.... if only the snow can melt....

Need to hunt for more 42 Chev, GM, GMC, Maple Leaf good sheet metal....

Now that everyone has their best bible open can you cross check somo thing for me........ Shock absorbers........

The CMP early models had small double action Delco..... same used on early 4x4 Dodge trucks.... the VC and WC series I beleive..... Now we know that shock absorbers on the rear axle was an option on civilian models....and civilain models tended to have single action shock absobers in front.

All CMP rear axle have the larger shcokabsorber and eventually all cab 13 had the larger shocks onthefront as well.

What was installed on the larger Chev and GMC........ I have a Chev (41/42?) rolling chassis that sports the small CMP shock absorbers and the infamous flat 1/4 in. steel plate frame reinforcement...... but no other identifying marks....... could that frame be X military???? it has the large ball bearing on the front axle........ what goes on a 304123.....

Cheers
