Chevrolet C60L Handbrake

[Paul Hemmings]

No worries Ken , I just got excited thinking you could buy a nos speedo cable , I will have to get the old one off and have a new one made , I do not know of any handbrake parts available here , I think there are a lot more CMPs in Australia , My Chev came from France and is quite original apart from a discreet caravan conversion under the canvas but my wife comes to shows with me and likes some creature comforts , I would show you the pictures but i like you cannot get the pictures on, Paul

I like the caravan conversion idea

I had to raise the hoops slightly to get full head room , It has a toilet and sink at the front two single beds a cooker and a fridge, warm air gas heating table and chairs ,built in 40 litre water tank and LED lighting

Hi Paul

Nicely fitted out, this makes going to meets and sleeping in the truck so much comfortable.

Cheers Phil

The great thing about nice accommodation is i get three meals a day and tucked in to bed at night, My Morris c8 tows a replica of Montgomerys office caravan that is laid out like the one in the Imperial War Museum during the day and then converts to a nice caravan at night

Head room would not be a problem for you in your rig but with my long legs I might have to stoop a little.

And a few pictures of your repro Monty Caravan would also be nice.

On the NOS E brake drum and lining, subject to confirmation from Grant, I was lead to believe that the M35 and possibly the CCKW had identical parts ....possibly including all the assorted springs and hardware?????? and are still available from USA distributor and maybe Frank Von R. in Canada

Cheers

Hi Bob

Your point about headroom is well taken the only place my son can stand up straight in box on BEAUTY is by opening the roof skylight.

Over the years I've bumped my head a fair number of times on the door header, particularly running up the stairs to grab something. Not as much of a problem has I've gotten shorter.

Will dig out some photos of the radio box on BEAUTY Pattern 13 C60S.

Cheers Phil

I have used the M135 CDN (not M35 unless someone checks numbers and find they are the same too) parking brake band on a 2 speed Chevrolet CMP transfer case. Same part number so I assumed it would fit, and it did. The same applies to the springs, j-bolt and other actuating hardware. On checking part numbers for the hardware I found they were common to CCKW and CMP (Chev) so bought a couple of sets from Frank. Again, the fit was right (as you would expect for NOS parts from the same parent company having the same number number).
