Default Problem with logic of part #s

Hi Lynn

There is a problem with the perfectly logical of working back from the parts sheet number to the Canadian Parts Book part numbers. The Parts Sheet was US and for some very strange reason not all the part numbers back and forth across the boarder are the same.

I have both master parts books covering period of the pages I posted, both Canadian and US an it often drives me crazy to find visually identical parts one Canadian one US with two different part numbers.

The best use of either parts book these days is to find those parts which were common to a particular time to a particular vehicle and then go looking for parts that way.

Just to add to the fun the Chevy CMP Part numbers sometimes match the civilian parts book sometimes they don't.

As I have not installed the engine mount I posted pictures of I can easily provide dimensions.

Cheers Phil

G'day Andrew

I have posted two photos of the right and left engine mounts from an original ex NZ LRDG Chev. This Chev is in an unmolested state and I believe the engine mounts are the originals. Although the mounts are covered in grease and oil, you should get an idea of the set-up.

This is the vehicle the photos come from.





Engine mounts.





I hope this helps.

Andrew, the black engine mount in your picture is the same as the mounts in my 47/48 Chev 1100.

Default Engine mounts.

Yes, I am very happy and want to thank you all again for being so helpful. I had previously spent a very long time trying to figure it out and you guys provided the answer very quickly. What a great forum!! The photos of Tommy's truck confirm what David, Lyn and others have said and I note in passing that the spring is attached to the underside of the cross member.

A small point about Tommy K's truck: It may be ex-NZ but almost certainly is not ex-LRDG, as none are known to have survived the war, except one earlier type in the Imperial War Museum. The truck shown appears to be the "India pattern" type of Chev and may have seen desert service as it has correct sand tyres but it has an un-cut grill and several other features that indicate it is not LRDG. But a great truck anyway!
