New Project 1940 C15 2WD

[Bob Carriere]

Hi Bob
Welcome to the crazy world of CMPs and the even nuttier world of cab 11...

Curious..... there was a previous posting a few years back of someone on the East coast who purchased a alledgedly complete truck similar to yours all disassembled.... sort of a Leggo project..... was that you or the origine of your truck....?

I have tinkered a bit with a cab 11 and may have a few spare parts or at least ideas to share.

Don't be afraid to ask questions and include as many pictures as possible as some of us can't read real good !!!!!

...one of the many other Bob.

Hi Bob

See the attached pic.....

On the cab 11 the special ..odd.... 90 degree goose neck is lead soldered onto the radiator tank...... never seen a loose one as a NOS one...... Biran Ashbury has the NOS radiator cap with chain.

You mayhave to buy a whole radiator to get that part. In most instances we wind up buying a delapidated radiator just to save the top and bottom tank.... and pay around $400 to have it recored with four rows of tubes.

It is usually easier to find a cab 13 rad (which won't fit )than a cab 11/12.... but don't give up yet....... not usre what I have at the barn....will need to look around..... and there may be some others on the forum with a rusted out rad that is willing to remove the neck for you.

HAng in there..

Bob

....ahum..... I think I have one from Mike's truck...... I know I have one with a piece of PCB pipe adaptation....will need to check what over all shape it is in..... stay tuned.

That's the one I was thinking of, Bob. Have you searched for that thread?

Good evening Hanno

I have not had much success on my search BUT then it all depends on what odd key words were used for the initial posting.

Will try again or maybe Bob will jump in and shed some light.
