Welding/machining help please

[Bob Carriere]

HI Bruce

I am convinced that a left ahnd copy of that steering box must have existed for Chev civvy models. I have searched my old truck manuals but unfortunately they are only going back to early 50 and th old ones form th 40s are for Dodge.

I would check the library for old truck shop manuals and look for 1938/39 models..... 3 to 5 ton size....... I am sure they did not create a new models for the CMP.... something off shelf was copied over to right side and casting made........ I would be tempted to invest time in research rather than welding or dummying up a set up......

A while back someone posted a web address with the CMP acronym that was putting up old shop manuals online for viewing ..... might be a good source.... anyone remember what it was called???

Good Luck with your project.

Bob
