Guys,
At Beaulieu this last weekend, there was this late production C60L Wrecker. Nothing unusual about that, however both the drivers and passenger doors had a large lubrication plate attached to them, and a door pressing which I have never seen before (see image 2). Has anyone else seen this type of pressing before ?

Default Chev Door Plates

Keith,

I don't recall seeing that type of door pressing before but I have seen similar plates for the C8A, a lubrication chart and a wiring diagram (19" x 9").

Part numbers as listed in the C8A Spare Parts List from June 1945:

group number 16.166 Doors
Plate, Wiring Diagram 5830950
Plate, Lubrication Chart 5831562

While the lube chart is chassis specific, I seem to think the wiring diagram was generic CMP Chev.

Brian

Hi Brian,
I must admit, I thought it was a rather nice touch. Any idea as to when did this type of door plate started to appear ?

Default Date?

Hi Keith,

The part number 5831562 is actually printed on the C8A lubrication diagram, followed by ' 3 - 28 - 45 '. Would it be safe to assume this is a date for some purpose?

Brian
The instrument panel shown in the second photo is a late production one so, to me at least it stands to reason that this is a date - 28 March 1945 is how I would read it.

Default another door

My brother was out on a trip to day and "found" some vehicles.
In a F60L this was one of the doors (the drivers door had "normal pressing")
The Lubrcation diagram has Part No. C4980-501000
and the diagram also stated
"APPLICABLE TO MODELS SHOWN
BUILT AFTER JULY 1945"
And is of course marked with Ford Canada
