Question about Cab 12 Chevrolet FAT

[Van Hove Herman]

and that's the one for the right front side.

Hi All

I forgot to mention that the parts break out I posted for the front Winch fairing was Ford. But my Pattern 12 C60L is of course a Chevy, CMPs are often a wonderful mix of parts both some of this is from swapping of parts for repair purpose but much of it is as built. In a what today would be rare cooperation between manufacturing companies FORD and Chevy seemed to swap parts and more important manufacturing capacity back and forth, to get the job done.

Thank you guys.
Yes they must have mixed because the towing clevis on my CGT are the ford type with hex bolt. one of the bolts are sadly broken

Hi Niels

Well I found the photos and measurements for my Pattern 12 C60L which has the smaller diameter drums.

Front and Rear Shoes are different my photo notes show the fronts as being 2" wide and the rears as being 3 1/2" wide.

Also found the brake cylinder information and source (will somebody help confirm these) the source is MAC's Antique Auto Parts .

These number match the CMP parts book and MAC's shows them as having them Rear 91T-2261 1 1/2" diameter Fronts 92Y-2261 1 3/8" diameter (note you have to type it into their side with the dash)

Cheers Phil

Thank you very much guys.
I will take look in the weekend to see if I can use the brakes from my C30 or if I have to get a new set of everything.
I was lucky and found these two books in the UK.

I have had the chance to work a bit on the CGT.
I got the it charging again, I am not quite sure how, I took the dynamo apart and cleaned it, I cleaned the points in the regulator and wires going to them, but nothing happen, but then suddenly yesterday it started charging.

My CGT has a small third fuel tank installes, which I think is a piece of the Artic equipment, the one gallon primer fuel tank, it sure looks like the one LWD parts has for sale.

There is a primer pump installed just above the steering column
The small tank is installed in the left side, just in front of the normal tank.
The hole for the filler neck is very crudely cut.
Do any one know if this is the correct placement for this primer tank?
