Chevrolet c15a New Project

Rounded bumpers are correct, I have one I took off a Chev in my shed. On this one however I'd check to see of there are holes for the crank guide.

As for colours, in 1941 (which yours would be) they left the factory in either khaki or 'desert' light stone. There could be a number of camouflage schemes and colours applied and micky mouse is certainly one of them. If these trucks survived and needed a coat of paint it would have been according to the colour at the time, being brown in 1943 and olive drab in 1944/45. Olive drab trucks rarely had any camouflage applied.

Thanks guys I'm learning fast.

Here's a close up picture of the bumper (I have to say to doesn't look like a babba addition)

And the fuel tank showing the short neck.

I'll check the engine number next time I visit the yard.

Cheers,

Paul

Fuel tanks are correct!

Agree on the fuel tanks, they are proper. Once a tool box is in place, they are difficult to fill. You really need the flexible spout and the funnel to get to them...a regular jerry can with normal flex spout won't do.

Guys, I'm in need of a front brake drum but in my hunt I'm being asked which type do I have?

I understand some of the early models were different, but how exactly do these two types differ? I had previously posted a picture showing the hub, can anyone tell me what I have?

Cheers,

Paul
