Wonderful job....... a much needed inspiration for me. Can I request HI-Res. copies sent to my home address.... that way I can blow it up with my ACDsee software and use it as reference. They will not be used for commercial purpose whatsoever!!! Much appreciated. Bob C.

numbers
Bob
The numbers are 390 I found them under the civi paint on the front and rear diff cases straight on top of the G3. I assumed that 390 was perhaps a stores coding for hypoid 90 gear oil but have not ever seen it recorded as such. Pete |

photos of engine cover detail
Bob, Mike
Have tried to reduce the photos of my LAA 12 cab panels but the lighting levels are too low to hold any resolution when reduced to 600 pix. If you can hold on a week or so I can take some more in better light levels, what exactly are you interested in seeing ? Pleased you like the C15A, everything back form the cab is fabricated using original patterns I recon it took me 2350 hours of work spread over five years. This truck came as a complete kit of individual component parts. The previous owner had taken it all apart and stored it in his cellar I'll find a picture I took at the start of the project Pete Last edited by Pete Ashby; 01-03-06 at 13:17. |

Patience, research, imagination, vision, and basic technical skill, no different skills than our modelling friends apply it's just that we do it with nuts, bolts, sand blaster and welder. Out of all of those skills I rate vision as one of the highest, you have to know what you want to achieve as the end product, then don't settle for anything less That’s enough of all that old bunk, would anyone like to see some pictures of my son David's Dodge WK60 project ? it had a rather nice arboreal feature when we found it Pete |

That well known Senior member of the OCMPG Nigel Dawe ex owner F8 11 cab FFW and Part Time Gentleman has been lurking around the forum and seen the posts here, he has come up trumps with some clandestine shots he took a few years ago of the inside of my C15A one here and the other side to follow. Thanks Nige your a star |

pete et al
thanks for sharing the pics...it seems like the hardest pics to find reference of the 11/12 cabs are interrior shots. btw, pete, my truck looks like the shot of your apart but with more rust. thank you again, and what a beaut!! mike |

Me too. . . and after the huge mark-up at you still get to negotiate for the cam net
Maybe we should break our piggy banks and save it from further speculation? H.

Re-advertised on MilWeb, plus back on eBay. First auction was commanding a Starting bid of £10,500.00, second time has a starting bid of £8,600.00. And one still has to haggle for the camouflage net - it must be dear to him
Hope it goes to a really good home this time! H.

It all seems rather sad really. When I sold the truck I thought I'd found a good home for her, I went out of my way to impress the purchaser that it was not for the faint hearted in terms of road speed,handling and comfort, I guess you either love early CMP's or hate them.
I agree Hanno lets hope she finds a good home this time round. I too ponder the true value of that cam net Pete |

A friend of mine was interested to buy that truck, sent two emails but no reply. So I rang him and he said he was just a middle man offering the truck for his friend. Second call and I was put through to the owner, said he was having some people coming over to see it. I did not have an impression he was keen enough to sell. Anyway if anyone knows of similar truck for sale, please let me know.
