It's simple. The C15A never used 20" wheels in military service. They were added by farmers and the like after the war.

Default PM sent....

I suggest we carry on off the forum as it will take time and money will be involved.

Bob C

One suggestion ....... get yourself a digital camera to document everything you take apart and to share pictures on MLU when asking for questions....... and take lots and lots and lots of pictures for future reference.



PS....... the final outcome of these potential transactions will be posted on MLU.

Default Things are happening....

Bonjour Joao Bosco

Hang in there ........ may have some wheels for you. Details to follow.

Color of the engine is the subject of long inconclusive discussion.
Officially General Motors never kept detailed information on the exact paint formulation for the engine color...... so grey.....blue gray....some on black and military rebuilt engines were sometimes painted Olive drab green........ personally I prefer the blueish grey color that contrast well with the other black generators, fans, starter, etc accessories.

In the end it is for YOUR truck and what you decide will be perfect.

Patience my friend.

Bob C
