Looking for CMP 4x2 information.....

Quite obvious that the brake system is civvy and identical to the HUP system so parts are available. Very narrow brake drums with narrow linings even at the rear.

May need to chat with Jaap and Alex.

So important to post our projects on the forum without using a 3rd party posting site.

Thanks again for digging it up for me.

I haven't split my front axle yet (it's on the 'jobs for 2019' list ), but here's some photos of the rear assembly. The C15 4x2 uses the same shoes front and rear. Also some pics of the wheel cylinders.

Bob, Hopefully these will help. Let me know if you have any questions.

As mentioned by Owen, C8 and C15 are different, although the front wheel cylinder is the same.
C8 mostly uses 1/2ton parts for the front axle. Some of the hinge pins and clips in the brake system are the same as GMC CCKW.

Wonderful pictures.

A long shot.....are the spindle size of the front axle and the rear axle the same and therefore use the same bearing size?????

You confirm that the brakes ona C!% are infact Chevrolet andthe brakes on a C15A are A Ford design..............

I am working on a 1940 Civvy one ton or one and a half........has very narrow brake drums and would love to replace them with the complete C15 axles.

Thanks for your help. Hang in there it is not over.

PS could almost conclude that the whole backing plate assembly is a bolt on...............

Hmmm, not sure. I have yet to take my fronts apart. I suspect they are different; I'll be able to confirm that when the front axle is apart. Probably a couple of months time before I get to it though.

Belated response to this; the front axle was more stubborn than I thought!
