2015 at the Hammond Barn

[Bob Carriere]

They all show the lock on the right with the lever leaning forward to accomodate the semi COE of the CMP.

Civilian chevs have the shift lever bent backward as the cab is conventional.

Details drive you nuts.

NOTE.... I have confirmed that the reverse lock levere ONLY fits and works when installed on the right/driver's side..... and is actually pulled by the index of the left hand when shifting

Must go play with it tomorrow to refresh my memory.

Hi Terry, Had to delete the last posting - can't seem to upload pics in the correct orientation. Tried to downsize but my photo software minimum limit is 135K...more later. BTW - do you want us to repack and add a tarp to your pile of parts in the back 40?

What a wonderful day..... after 35 years of hidding it behind the barn my C15a is now registered as unplated.

I will be getting YOM plates and my shorty plate has been verified as OK now have to send the papers.

Now to finish the work on it for a safety and insurance......

The secret is perserverance against all obstacles an a course in Yoga to know which leg to stand on to please Service Ontario.

Its mine... really mine !!!!!

Cheers

Bob, congratulations on your perseverance on this project. It sounds like a reason for a celebration. The rumour on the street is next week at the eat and greet, you will be "buying a whiskey for the men and a beer for the horses... "


Cheers!
Stuart

Hi Bob

Congratulations on this milestone.

Because of rule changes down here it has been getting harder and harder to register old trucks that have no paper work. Took getting turned down at four levels before they finally sent a DOT cop out to the house to look at the truck.

Cheers Phil

....actually had to trace on of the sons of the original owner.... thank God for the Web....

Also...using the small one person rural outlet in Rockland made the difference.... too many people too many advice and opinions...... even had my restored 1940 plate verified and checks out OK so I can get a YOM plate....

The plate is referred to as a shorty with only 2 numerals one letter one numeral about 10 inches...... will look good on the truck.

Next debate.... can you get a YOM for a period CMP trailer????.... already have the plate.....

In Ontario you need two plates front and back BUT in 1943 and 45 and 46 only one plate was produced and WILL be accepted for a YOM......

...another fine point. you can affix a small metal tab of the same yellow color as the 1940 plate( they sell for $20 ) to the top of the plate to hold your yearly certication tag....

Takes juggling but it can be done.

Cheers
