They were acquired many years ago by a member of our association, and was the one who said, which the seller had said they were from CMP .... A seller, we are to buy a lot of parts to complete our LAAT, and as now he had not these parts, was that this member donated them...

The ones mentioned earlier by Morrisson on the C60 were made by me... exact repros of an NOS one
The photo does look like the rear mudflaps... Front mudflaps were much smaller. In one of the old CONVOY magazines is the plan for making repros- dimensions and construction methods. If I recall, the middle section has a thin layer of filler- horsehair at the time. and the bottom strip has a stiffener..something like ten-test- at the time..I rebuilt with 1/16th steel to have the stiffens and a tad weight

If you make reproductions a tip
Hi All
Rubber or Canvas mud flaps seems to be issue of when the truck was built, and were they ever replaced. My `42 Pat 13 C60S had rubber mud flaps while my `45 HUP had canvas front and rear. In the process of my recent overhaul of the HUP I replaced the flaps with canvas copies of the originals. But I got the rear ones wrong they were neither stiff enough nor the canvas heavy enough. The result was that the air stream coming off the rear tires would fold them up were they would contact the tire resulting in a heavy thwack on the fender and very quick wear on the flaps. My original canvas flaps have steel sewn into the middle and bottom in pockets. I copied these and sewed the flaps the same way so what I got wrong was the flaps were not stiff enough to be held down and not get caught by the air current off the tires. For the next try I will try and use much stiffer canvas. Cheers Phil

yes the canvas should be heavywieght/thick.. typical "canvas" generally sold today is thin about half the weight needed
were you a Convoy subscriber? do you have the template and info for the rear flaps from the mag?

As i try to remember..there may have been 3 layers to the rear canvas..front- back and a piece in the middle.... (??) As I recall there was straight stitching on one side and the X stitching on the other?????
Again proper details somewhere in an old Convoy issue
