This ad was listed in another thread, but I thought I would put these here. I went out today and took a look at it. Here are some pictures.

Here are the rest of the photos. Bill and I saw this one a couple of years ago, but the owner was not interested in selling it. The picture on Kijiji I think is an older one and is not too clear.

HI Craig

Would be a good parts truck and if in Ontario I would probably be home by now......

Distance/fuel cost makes it prohibitive......

Strange how it did not sell at $400 and is now relisted at $500...... antiques do gain in value very quickly......

Listed as monster truck tires and axles

The tires are too large for a CMP, axles look like they're from a M135, but the photos are mainly CMP.

It's a Chev HUP, or more accurately, a wireless HUW...note the angled division panel behind the cab. Note too the four holes on the front left cowl where the overflow can would have been. That makes it a 1942. Running board (or boards?) is intact. Not a bad truck for the price.

Not a CMP but one of the dreaded HUx series. Perhaps Rob Clarke will scoop it up (wife permitting)????

Thanks for the heads up, Grant. I won't be after that beast unless I win the lotto big time. Still have one more HUP to recover yet...don't tell the frau!

Pictures please!

Hmmm....

The Kijiji ad has had 175 visits, and this thread has had 115 visits. Should MLU be getting a spotter's commision?

This is the same basic body type that I modified to fit my C60L sliced 10" out of the middle length wise. To get a reasonable visual match for the one of the Australian drop side boxes. It also makes my C60L a very useful truck for cargo.

Looks like a recent (M35 era) shelter:

Grant Bowker · #14 21-07-09, 03:25

If you want to restore the shelter (weren't most of these house bodies on the dual wheeled version of the chassis?) I have a copy of the CV-47 parts book for the body that says it was for mounting on the M207 CDN chassis. In general, this body looks to be more solidly built than the 2K1 body used on the C15A wire5. I guess I shouldn't be surprised, it is mounted on a chassis rated for over 3 times the load (or 6 times if you use the highway rating instead of the cross country rating).

Phil Waterman · #15 21-07-09, 14:12

I looked at one of these cargo bodies to see if it was practical to narrow it to fit on CMP. Given the gauge of the steel it would cut like butter with a plasma torch. But some of these were insulated with a paper type material that burns really good.

Cheers Phil

Phil,

This picture actually shows the early GS fixed side rear body (5D2 and 5D4 type), as discussed in the thread Chevrolet C60L with early GS body. I think you did a great job on restoring your C60L. But I am only mentioning this as it widens the options for others restoring 3-ton CMPs, as I reckon fixed side bodies are more numerous than drop side bodies.

Regards,
Hanno

Phil Waterman · #17 22-07-09, 14:35

Hi Hanno

That was the point that I was making is that a visual approximation of the GS body can be made up using modern cargo bodies. Even if this is a interim step while a faithful body is being built.

I should have noticed that the image was a fix side. Back in the old thread the term I believe "locally built GS body" was used to describe.

What I find interesting was that CMPs had so many variations of body styles and so many useful adaptations such as the drop side bodies.

I suspect that the large number of mixed and matched bodies is the result of many rebuilds and quick salvage repairs.

Found on the Owen Sound Kijiji
http://owensound.kijiji.ca/c-cars-ve...AdIdZ147181462
The truck looks like the Caldwell's truck, so does the phone number. Asking price is $6500.

Here are links to short clips on YouTube showing this very nice CMP Watertruck:

Need to work out details for trailer pickup if you are around....

Bob

Brian Gough · #21 17-08-09, 14:37

Hi Bob,

I sent you an email this morning. Grease the trailer bearings.

There is a CMP rolling chasis and cab (13 I think) for sale in Sherwood Park, AB on kijiji. There are no doors or windows and it looks to be in good shape. Is $1900.00 a fair price? There is no motor but I believe there is a trany and transfer case.

Thanks

Wayne

Moderator, could you please move this post to the proper thread? Sorry about the mistake

Wayne,

Yes I could, no problems, but what is the "proper thread"?

It has been listed off and on since spring. I decided to give it a pass based on the modifictions, likely abuse, price, useful parts remaining etc. balance.

Geoff Winnington-Ball (RIP) · #27 24-12-09, 13:25

If I'm not mistaken, that's the truck that used to be in the boatyard in Pefferlaw (just south of Lake Simcoe). SUNRAY MINOR took several photos of it some years ago, albeit not from the same angle. It's not in bad shape, all things considered.
