Looking for Date of Mfg and Chassis S/N information for C15

[Alex van de Wetering]

Hi Sanne,

Good to see you here and good to here your dad and you are almost finishing the truck.

Regarding the numbers....I am afraid it will always be a bit of a guesstimate; Engines were not always fitted to a chassis in chassisnumber sequence, and no full chassisnumber/engine number lists are available.

But....David Hayward here on the forum did compile a list of known chassisnumbers, which could be helpful in your search. Sadly David has passed a few years ago, but some of his research can be found here on the forum and on this website:

He has listed for 1943, C15 4x2:
