C30, 11cab ID?

[Hanno Spoelstra]

Hello Martin,

I think you're right, it's a C60S. The body type I will have to look up on Clive Law's new book. But it's a nice early CMP, is it yours?

For your information: the post-war plate is Belgian, not Dutch.

I do not know where to find the chassis number on a Chevrolet. Have you searched the forum for older postings on the subject?

Regards,
Hanno

Hello Hanno,

I thought so.. Dutch or Belgian. Thank you. Yes, It is our new family member.
The seller said it was renovated about 10-15 years ago, but much minor works needs to be done yet and the renovation wasn't from the best definitely.

Yes, I spent some hours on the older topics, but I am affrait the Chevy chassis weren't numbered.. So the only clue now is the current plate. Or the engine number, which seems to be 1942.. so the original engine was probably replaced. There are some another different numbers, or codes, but I believe these are connected to the post-war time.. perhaps the markings of the Belgian army?

And regarding the body plate, I am not 100% sure it is from this particular car. There is a low serial No. I'd be glad for a help!

Anyway, despite the first "not so happy" feelings when the truck arrive I am becomming to fell in love with her. The old 11 patt. cab and the huge massive 60cwt wheels makes the truck absolutely lovely!

Hello gentleman,

just identified my C60S engine - USA made 270 GMC.
The same identification dataplate is present on my Otter, but in poor unreadable condition.
Is it the early original engine mounted to the GM trucks, or some kind of later replacement please?

Thanks!
