restoration project waterbowser C15A 1943

[Guy Verstrepen]

the sawn-off rear compartment was mounted on the passenger side instead of a fuel tank. unfortunately there is a piece of 10 "shortened from the top, in the frame there is also a hole, is this hole provided to allow the cardan shaft to continue for the drive of the power pump? Does anyone have an idea? power take or is also present at the transmission, it used to be used to power the winch.
I think the winch is the same as on a ford gtb mounted.

here is a picture of the hole where the cardan shaft goes through the frame that I had previously told about.

The frame cross-member with the round hole is used as part of the mounting for CMP winches (when fitted) on the Chevrolet frame. The winch normally used on CMPs has a gear casing that looks like a Ford axle differential housing. I have not seen a winch like the one you show as an original fitting on a CMP. It looks more like the winch fitted US vehicles (Dodge WC series, CCKW, M series).

Hello Guy. Can you advise the dimensions of the un-identified box (tin) please.
Does it have any numbers on it?

Hey Lynn,
Unfortunately we did not find any numbers, I took pictures with the dimensions. It is presses the same box that I found on another link to MLU forum where you can see such a similar tray.

Hey Grant,
I mean the small hole next to the big hole that is destined for the original winch for cmp's, see red circle on photo.
The pito output corresponds directly to the small hole,
Therefore, I think that this should be the passage for the drive of the power pump or is it driven by other means?

With best regards
Guy

I am at work right now and can not check the manual for the water tank body. I will do this later and let you know what I can understand.
I believe I have posted images from the manual to show the PTO in past but I did not find them on a quick search.

Given that it looks like a single speed transfer case then there is no running it off the Transfer case PTO but of a transmission PTO. Does the data tag chassis model end with a "T"?
