The body does look like a 2C1 body, all steel, welded construction.

Hi

Hi,
Is 42 the year that they made the box

[Grant Bowker]

Using Hanno's decoding information it was made in January 1942. This is a believable date for a 2C1 body. The 2C1 body was one of the earlier bodies for the 15 cwt trucks. I don't have a date for the change in body types but in general the the 2B1 was used on cab 11 and 12 trucks (there are photos of it on the 13 cab as well) the bodies 2C1 2H1, 2J1 were mainly on cab 13 but there are photos of the 2C1 on cab 12 chassis.

I think there was a 2A1 as a prototype or very early production body. I don't know if there were ever 2D1 or any of the other missing body codes. Has anyone ever seen a listing of the body codes? There's some information in the AEDB Design record but it isn't a full listing (or even close).

Yes, Bill Gregg listed the body types in his "Canadian Military Vehicle Profile Series" Vol. 2. Colin Stevens has scanned them and put them on his CMP web page.

Thank you Hanno,
I have Vol. 2 of Bill Greggs series. He says "The body type code is too complicated and inconsistent to be listed here". I was hoping that someone would either know where to find the fulll listing or be able to fill in some of the gaps. For example, was there ever a 2D1, was it only an idea, a prototype or a production model?

Hi
Nice day to work on the ford

[NORTH-SHORE(CANADA)]

Hi
I found this in the truck is it original

it fit bo size of nut

[Phil Waterman]

Should fit lug nuts and the wheel nuts, some that I have seen are painted white on one end lug nut, other painted red which is the outer wheel nuts. Impossible to confuse as they are obviously different size.

Don’t think that lug wrench will fit the Jeep in the back ground.
