Following my comment about possible PTO use on the water tank trucks, both the 200 gallon (on 15cwt chassis) and 350 gallon (on 3 ton chassis) had PTO driven pumps in addition to the hand pumps but I don't think the PT used matches the one being discussed here. I will post more info on the PTO lever thread.

In the small green shelter is the tranny from a C15a water truck and the tranny is on the floor with the PTO still attached....

“We did a full restoration of this vehicle, carefully bringing it back to its full 50’s Dutch army livery including all the small details such as the indicator arms on the a pillar. Colour was exactly matched to a pristine part of the chassis behind the fuel tank. We were amazed to find that this vehicle had been completely stripped and repainted around that time.”

“Remains of shipping data on the side. Also the vivid green colour is clearly visible here, below the 70's layers of RAL6014.”

Nice work and it is good to see the vehicle in accurate post-war livery.

I fully agree! I took measurements (for a scale model) of this very C60X when it was still in unrestored condition at the Maaldrift depot. As most, if not all, of the tools and equipment in the back dated from it's post-war Dutch service, I think restoring it in Post-war livery was definitely the way to go...and very well done by Martin indeed.
