1940 c15

[Paul Singleton]

I have verified the serial number of my C-15. The number is 0842101189.
Thanks

Ahh, that makes more sense !
It will be interesting to see if the engine number actually matches the number on the plate and the 1952 reg document.

Yes, the engine number does match the registration, and is in the correct range for 1940 production. Therefore I do believe that the registration was miss typed. Thanks

Hi Paul

Have you ever posted pictures of your truck??? What ever you do..... do not start your restoration process without taking as may digital photos as you can before, during and after.

Would be interested in following your restoration in glowing color pictures when you get started. I have worked on a C15a and gained some valuable experience I am willing to share and would love to learn the differences with the 4x4.

I'm guessing post #21 here might be an older picture of Paul's truck?

I note that the C15 that is the main subject of the above link doesn't have the extra 'assistor' leaves on the rear springs. My C15 is about 1700 units after Paul's, and does have the assistors on the rear springs...and yes, those rear springs with assistors are heavy.

I too would like to see some more pictures of Paul's C15. And to see if it has 'normal' rear springs, or if it has the assistors fitted.

Yes, my C-15 is on the trailer, going inside out of the weather. I reread the post and I see that unfortunately I gave David Hayward the incorrect serial number. We will need to keep this in mind as it would incorrectly give the impression of the number of trucks built. Does anyone know who has access to David’s files? It would be nice to correct the error.
Thanks
