In the pictures there is guy sitting on the deck behind the driver and the girls are sitting on the turret top.

How are the rules for seating in a vehicle in the UK?

I dont think that seating arrangement or lack off would have been allowed in Denmark.

From the chassis number plate (8441) it is a C30

Hello Jean and welcome

I cant help you with identifying if its a C30 or C60s, do you have a chassis number on it you might be able to see the type from that, but I can tell you that it is not a Cab 12 you have but by looking at the nose, and the very small engine hatch it is an earlier Cab 11 Chevrolet you have.

You might also want to check out the http://www.mapleleafup.net/forums/ there at alot of CMP vehicle owner on there aswell.

Yes we can mostly thank civilian service for saving many of our early vehicles.

I have been thinking about restoring one of my gun tractors as the recovery truck it was for 40 years.

But mostly civilian service look is very easy to convert back to military, mostly a matter of paint.

And here some from the danish army and AFS equivalent

Here are some more post war in civilian service pictures from Norway

The guy who posted the picture, mentioned that it was possibly for sale

I know that the one in last pictures are available if any one was interested, its a guy from the Norwegian military vehicles club that has it.

The others where also available but would take a bit more digging to find the owners but it could be done.

There is also a number of Fordson WOT6's up there.

I will gladly help with establishing a contact, if people are genuinely interested.

Yes it had been used as a snowplow.

It wasn't specified where it was located other than in Norway.

Where did you get the exhaust from? and can they make more?

Here are some which recently have appared in Norway, (some might be well known to our Norwegian members)

Here is one recently found in Norway

One of my friends ship two WC dodges from Norway to Oxfordshire for around 1300£ earlier this year so its not that expensive

But I know of 3 or 4 Austin K5's up there as well, that need new homes.

Your right Ian, don't know why I would have written K5.. Silly me

Shipping from Norway might not be to bad, I bought my second gun tractor in Tromsø, which is 350km north of the artic cirkle. I paid 800£ to have it low loaded from Tromsø to Oslo, which where some 2300km. And 3000 NOK is 230£ so I would call that very cheap starting point for a rare vehicle.

Hi I just spotted this http://www.finn.no/finn/car/used/object?finnkode=66583314

no connection to the seller.

As Lauren mention it is not a F8, where the 8 would denote an 8CWT load capacity, the gun tractors was as I remember like the 60CWT GS.

The axles, transferbox, and other parts differ between an 8 and a 60CWT, and the 60 has a brake vaccum assist.

It was this one. Rough but looked to be saveable

There are a rare humber 1 ton for sale on Facebook that needs saving or it gets broken

The Cab 13 design where employed on all versions of the series, GS lorry, tanker, wrecker, HUB, Quad etc. (to my knowledge)

there are differences between the Ford and Chevrolet produced CMP's, on the outside, the grill was square mesh on the ford and stretch perforated plate. The bar above the bumper where mounted on springs on the ford and more static on the chevy. The Ford had Ford Canada written underneath the headlights. the ford had split axles and the Chevy banjo.

The interior design is also a bit different because on is running a strait six and the other a wider shorter V8.

but if you search the net you should be able to find what you need. http://www.canadianregister.co.uk/chevy_or_ford.html here e.g.

Hello James

Yes that one is the Australian build version of a Cab 13 gun tractor, and I think yes only used by the Australians.

Your best bet to find more info is having a look at the MLU forum. Yes its the 25 pdr gun and limber its towing.

You might be able to use a mirror models or italeri cab 13 as basis but I am not sure about the chassis length.

There is a complete one for sale in Norway at the moment, but no price is given.
