New Project CMP in Alberta

The data plate looks correct for an early 42 Cab 13 C60L, although I have not seen one attached to the side of the dash like that before. The 8443 in the number is the GM code for the 158" wheelbase C60L.

Whilst the tyres (tires in your part of the world) look good they are probably very hard and will likely fly to pieces if used.

Bob,

I have a spare original MB C1 manual, and I'm a lot closer than Australia!! PM details to me if you would like to purchase, and I'll work out postage from Colbert to whereever, Alberta.

I see no 'holes' in the bumper for the 'cats eye reflectors': anyone care to comment on this abberation?

Good luck with the project: it IS addictive! Before you know it, your current CMP will have multiplied into several......

(Hope your partner is the understanding sort!!)

Hi Bob

Can you look at or take a picture of the top of the front axle behind the tire or tyre....... there is a pivot point that allows the front axle to steer..... the steering arm is bolted to the front axle...... how many bolts are holding it in place..... 4 or 6.......?

You stirred up a lot of attention.

Your cab looks to be in very good shape and the frame very straight.....

..... and HI Terry...... now that the farming is done will you get back to the cab 12...?

On the bumper reflectors .... from my experience they seem more prevalent on early cab 11 and 12..... and some 13 cab..... and some cab 13 only have one hole ...??
