Default Chevrolet C60L ex-Denmark

Hi,

I help friend with search for CMP, and now is Chevy C60L in Czech republic.

By seller is ex-Denmark, ex- Norway.

Think interesting is wood body,

but I dont know date built(?) on dash board on plate is date 1945,

but think wood body was to 1942, plastic steering wheel to 1942,

this cyrcle cab cover is Ford production(?),

Tomas

The lifting flanges on the hubs are consistent with 1945 production. The steering wheel could easily have been replaced with an earlier one. You could check if the chassis number on the data plate matches with the number stamped on the chassis frame.

It could be the truck was rebuilt at some stage in it's life when parts from different years were mixed.
But it looks to be a very complete and solid truck. If you are in the market for one, I would stop looking!
