Info needed: Building a repro LRDG 1940 Chev.

[Bob Carriere]

....during a lull a t the barn today....... we no longer have to keep moving to keep from freezing...... Grant urged me to check out part numbers in the C15A book and the C60 L parts book....... now I realize that the C15a rear axle and the C60 rear axle are identical....except for the gear ratio and from what Dave Pope observed the rear axle are also the same for the civilian 2 ton axle...although I still have to see the proof in the parts book.....

Quite common here in Canada for CMP owners to replace the single wheel CMP drum and rim with a dual civilian drum and rim and they fitted...... so bearings and brakes worked......

The things you learn when you can read.....

We took apart a 47 to 51 Chev front axle/hub today just to learn about the bicycle bearings...... now to see if the HD roller bearings will fit in the same hub carrier.... or need machining.....more to follow.
