  1. Another way in obtaining new gears is if you look for the Dodge WC series gears , they are the same , or buy a cheap used dodge gear box , and take the gears out , this will widen your search area , and prices .I even have seen French made gears .

  2. This vehicle was once owned by Tony Budge , after the Budge collection was sold , your truck ended up in Belgium , it used to be Dessert yellow with black sprayed on camouflage , the Body had underneath gloss Deep bronze green paint , the truck itself didn`t , On Maple leaf up there was already discussion about this truck in the past there you will also find pictures from the trailer with the body on , I will try to look for the picture with the trailer , This truck was delivered with the Standard GS drop side body .

  3. Jee,  you are trying to change history , the body on your truck is anyway post war , and from a British trailer , your engine is out of a Bedford , so it had a civilian life , and you can`t be sure who slapped a blue color paint on in its past .

    So a paper tells you it is from 38 , but the statistics tell us that this model truck was not produced before 1941.

    Ok you can paint your vehicle in the color you want , but don`t ask then for correct RAF numbering , because it is going to be bogus at all .

  4. Come on , The first cab 11 CMP`s where built in 1940 , Cab 12 in 1941, yours is not a prototype , so as Hanno said they where painted Khaki Green , next the C15 was the only one produced for the British army , the C15A went to the Canadians themselves .

    Cab 13 is anyway from 1942.

  5. there are 3 basic ww2 versions , first the black bakelite version , 2nd  olive drab plastic one , third  tin spoked olive drab version , post war Hotchkiss is fatter in the center , but then there is an olive drab M38 version as well .

  6. What does the military vehicle community think about the new prices for entering with a vehicle ?

    So if you don`t book before the end of January it is going to be 50,- pounds , that is  if I am informed correctly .

    I personally know only which vehicle I will be taking after the vehicle season starts .
