Just bought this 1942 C15 from a guy in Chicago. I mentioned in an earlier thread about how I was told this truck was in N. Africa during the war, then was shipped to Argentina and subsequently driven to the U.S. where my seller bought it 25 years ago. I'll upload some pics. I have several questions: Did all CMP's come with an ashtray (if that is indeed what it is) or this this a civilian version? There was a data plate which was removed for painting and then lost. I was told it said the truck was a 1942 C15. It appears to have been manufactured as a left hand drive, but that is only after a cursory investigation. Do all C15's have such a large rear differential, this one is massive for what is basically a 3/4 ton truck. The passenger seat folds forward to access the sliding door to the rear, what models would have had this feature? I'll include several more pics and I invite any and all comments and suggestions to aid me in restoring this truck. My initial work will be to remove the items added over the years, find a correct box, do the brakes, replace the tires (they have Spanish on them) and paint. Any ideas on the correct paint for 3rd Cdn. Inf. Div.?
