Along that line, Mike, it might be an old ID Stamp for the long defunct Steel Company of Canada. During the war, they had operations in both Hamilton Ontario and Montreal Quebec.

I seem to remember the "S" was some kind of proof/check mark (?). I know it has been discussed before, but can't remember which thread.
My C8 also has an "S" on the chassis, but I think my font is slightly different. Good progress Jacek! What a coincidence....I also put a first coat of primer on my cab frame, last weekend! Alex

One of two oryginal tires , I think. Goodyear 1940 profuction . Any idea why it is so heavy ? I can lift other wheels myself but these two are too damn heavy for one man to lift.

The R.F. stands for "Run Flat", a tyre type with very thick side walls, up to 5 cm or so. If punctured by a bullet it would still be usable, holding up the vehicle not by the compressed air in the tyre chamber, but by the thick tyre side walls.

Jacek,
Sounds like a run-flat tyre....they use far more rubber than an ordinary tyre. or....you could have a leak and the tyre filled with water in stead of air  Alex

Run flats also have a rim liner that's a couple of inches thick to keep the tire on the bead.

Jacek,
It's hard to see in the pictures, but it looks like it could be 1.109" diameter and about 6,75"long? Maybe 1.109 X 6.812?? This is a size available from MOOG and ACdelco and marked as "Chevrolet truck 1941". MOOG 8336B ACDELCO 45F0023 But....this is only based on what I think I can see in your pictures. Alex

I'm looking for tie rod end for my CMP.
Diameters of threads are 1 1/4 " and 2 1/4 " . They don't have it on Chevy Parts and I couldn't find them on Dirk's page also. Help appreciated.

Not the usual 4x4 CMP......
I do not recognize these as CMP and you will no doubt have to search for civilian models from the 1937 or 1938 to 1940 for similar one ton or 1.5 ton listings.
Are you sure they need replacing ? Early tie rod ends for CMP could be taken apart to inspect for excessive wear........ can yours be disassembled? Seems that the C15 front axle is almost a full civilian transplant right from the factory. Good luck.

Jacek,
I bought the Tie rod ends for my C8 from Jim Carter (OldChevytrucks). Just like you I wasn't having much luck searching for a replacement using the part number. In the end I just asked for the diameters of the treads and the TPI and found a match. I bought ME348L and ME348R; suitable for the C8, but I think those for a C15 are heavier. Edit: maybe ME537R and ME537L would work for the C15? http://www.oldchevytrucks.com/cart/i...es=tie rod end regards, Alex

I'm thinking if I should leave old ones. Play is not so bad.
