Eric, when you asked "is it normal to have this part on a F15A" that's the stopper for the overload springs. I don't think the 15 cwts came out with overloads and they are post-military additions for when farmers wanted to haul grain, etc. I just looked at 8 of my 15 cwts and 5 of them have had the overloads installed. No two have the same stopper setup. A few have stoppers off civilian 2 or 3 tons but most have a home made fabrication. (or should I say fornication?)

Hi Eric,

I had a look again at your pictures, but I think your truck is not an F22 but a F15A built near the end of the war with late features like the removeable top radiator bar and deep wading kit.

Regards,
Hanno
