I looked at about 10 Chevrolets today (C15A to C60L), only one had a hole similar to the one shown in post 12 and that hole looked as if it might have been a modification, not on production.
The first photo shows the only crossmember with a hole in the given location. You can see that the winch blocks anything passing through the hole. Teds winch.jpg The second photo is of a C60S tipper. The transfer case mounted PTO can be seen through the winch hole in the crossmember. C60S tipper PTO.jpg The third photo is of a typical crossmember in the group checked today. Crossmember.jpg The fourth photo is the same truck as the third photo, taken from below the frame. Again, the upper shaft of the transfer case can be seen in the opening of the crossmember (no PTO, it is a single speed case). The location where a transmission mounted PTO would be fitted can be seen just to the right of the muffler. Although the smaller hole shown in post #12 is roughly in line with the transmission PTO, it seems a little unlikely that a shaft from the PTO would be angled up that high to drive a pump but I do not have a water bowser to compare this to. view forward 1.jpg Last edited by Grant Bowker; 15-04-18 at 03:36.

Nice looking project.
I also have owned a couple of trucks painted grey/silver inside, not sure if military or just a deal on cheap spray paint. Also it appears this vehicle has a ford ( possibly/probably two speed ) transfer case which would be a logical retro fit for an underpowered (216 engine) tow truck. B.P. |

quite possible, I have also seen a picture of an F22 with the same acceleration shifter, probably a military adaptation after the war. |

I found another thread of a waterbowser here. (Ian Johns) it is also provided with that hole, and behind it on the frame is a plate support attached to mount the power pump as shown, the holes for this plate support are also in my frame. gradually thanks to your help here I get more and more insight into how he was original. http://www.mapleleafup.net/forums/sh...ad.php?t=19723 |

thanks guys
thanks to you, I have come a step further. in the meantime I am talking to a factory that can process all kinds of metal or it is possible to copy the water filters. I will keep you informed here, but first I have to calculate some sizes because I have no real idea of the dimensions of such a filter. greetings Guy. |

Hey guys,
I found a storage chest of water browser in a barn in the Netherlands. The man where I found them said that he had received them from a farmer where such a water browser had probably stayed behind in the war or just after it. Greetings Guy |
