Thank you Hanno,
I have Vol. 2 of Bill Greggs series. He says "The body type code is too complicated and inconsistent to be listed here". I was hoping that someone would either know where to find the fulll listing or be able to fill in some of the gaps. For example, was there ever a 2D1, was it only an idea, a prototype or a production model?

Also.... what kind of instruments do you have... the round individual military gauges or the square civilian truck type.......

For some unexplained reasons some C60 were built with small axles and intended for 16 inch rims....... I have found at least half a dozen in Angus' yard in Sault St Marie....some in Belleville..... I have one.... some in a scrtap yard in western Ontario. They have a mixture of round guages and square 1940 style guages...... all have small C15a axles....... obviously they where made too late and never shipped to Australia....... and all made in Sept 1944.

I have record of.....Sept. 22 44 serial number ending in 3421
Sept. 18 44 Eric's 3231
Sept. 14 44 3101

I have attached a few pics...

Comments from any one on this particular strange built....?

Bob C.

Hi Bob,

Bob Carriere · #66 20-05-09, 03:24

Hi Eric

Hi
I found this in the truck is it original

it fit bo size of nut

Phil Waterman · #72 24-05-09, 17:19

Should fit lug nuts and the wheel nuts, some that I have seen are painted white on one end lug nut, other painted red which is the outer wheel nuts. Impossible to confuse as they are obviously different size.

Don’t think that lug wrench will fit the Jeep in the back ground.

Hi Eric

Yes from the picture I would say that it is original. It matches the pictures of seen of the CMP tool kits and it matches the one that was in the tool kit for my HUP.

Cheers Phil

Hi Eric

Picture you found is of the round hatch on my HUP. See http://www.canadianmilitarypattern.com/ http://www.canadianmilitarypattern.com/Posting.html

The little L shape tabs are to keep rain water from being driven up under the canvas hatch and dribble through the two holes for the hatches draw strap.

I don't know what the other bracket toward the front.

Cheers Phil

NORTH-SHORE(CANADA) · #88 20-11-09, 02:37

HI,
Here the pic of the braket and as you could see that y i remouve it i could fit a ring around the hole

and you could see where i think is the hole for the antenna it have a cover

and here the ring is on but the braket remouve

And here the order litle hole is it original it ave the cover on to

Bob Carriere · #89 20-11-09, 03:34

HI Eric

The two brackets you removed should have been left there..... they are part of the brackets that holds the tarp cover inplace when you remove it. You should be able to mig weld them in place without too much trouble

I am not sure about the other holes...... the one with 3 bolts could be for a snorkel running to the top of the engine cover...... do you have a picture fo the top of your engine cover....?? these were very late conversions and very few actually exists..... you may have a missmatched top or engine cover.

The other hole with 6 bolts may have been for an radio antenna base.... it looks the right size.......again not a common conversion..... maybe one of a kind field modification.
