Default CMP Seminar

With respect to the 15cwt in the photo..
while I may be wrong ( feel free to point it out..) I believe that truck was a 15cwt chevy that belonged to Brian Asbury who had brought it down to the seminar. I believe it currently belongs to Jim Ritchie.

Bob. I have not found the photos yet but you may be correct. I seem to recall something ‘wireless’ about that 15-cwt. Some discussions took place among us regarding where equipment was typically stored on it such as the 34-foot telescopic and 20-foot antenna masts.

Well done, Ed! Note the mast fittings on the drivers step and upper rear corner of the door.

Yes, I used those fittings to confirm I had the correct truck.

The truck that Brian had is a C15a Wire3. Same as my truck I’m restoring. Brain and I have talked at length about his old truck. Sadly it had nothing left other then the mast mounts to distinguish it from a regular C15a

Default Gary

Just been looking at my copy of 'Blueprint for Victory'

A guy called Gary Moonie from B.C. is mentioned, he had a DND prototype 15cwt in his collection. Is that truck still around ? I think Gary was one of the pioneers saving these trucks back in the 1970's.
