The shape of the cutouts around the wheels suggests CMP 15 cwt

Agree, I reckon that's an original AA body - see http://www.mapleleafup.net/forums/sh...939#post285939

Hi,
You maybe interested to know, that the AA body is now in my possession.
One or two slight changes compared to my body, so probably a different contractor made this one, bearing in mind there were several companies manufacturing these specialist bodies. The wheel arches have been shorten sometime in it's life. Still an amazing find after all these years
Regards
Keith

Man buys one part at auction, then realizes what he's got, so he decides to build an entire truck around it. Good on you!

Keith was lucky to secure the truck first: http://www.mapleleafup.net/forums/showthread.php?t=2214

Still a challenging rebuild with so little parts left as these 15-cwt AA trucks were quickly relegated to other roles shortly after the invasion of mainland Europe.
