Thanks for the good period photo's. It is so good seeing previously unseen good quality photo's.
It is very interesting that the late model C60L on the rugby field appears to have Indian Army registration on the door, which fits in with my theories about my late C60L.

Thanks Ken

Hi Richard. No full size CMP unfortunately, but would love to do something like that.
I'll stick to 1:35 scale models as they take up less room!

Cheers,
Pete M.

Default The early CMP

It's a Chevrolet going by the expansion tank on the side, and looking at the fuel tank it could even be a cab 11 - looks like the very early sender. Likely a 3-ton C60L.

Default 11 ?

I am leaning towards a cab 11 , there is a gap visible between the guard and the side panel, typical of a cab 11 .

The Solid non adjustable mirror arms also help suggest 11 Cab

Default Hood latch..... = 12 cab......

I observed the small hood latch as a cab 12 give away...... mirror arms look like early cab 11 or parts mix...... the expansion tank is Chevy.....some early cab 11 did not have expansion tanks nor any marker lights on the front fenders...... such as mine which stayed in Canada...... also noticed today that my cab 11 does not have a socket for the trouble light on the far left side of the other switches....

Cheers
