Hello Paul

 

I take it you have the original 216 engine and Carter WO carb fitted? what size tyres are you running 1050 16 or something bigger? The C60L will be nearing top speed at 40mph the rated maximum speed in 4th high is 47mph but 30 to 35mph is much more comfortable and sustainable for all concerned

 

Pete

Hi Pete , Thanks for replying , I am running 11.00 on 20" rims on the rear and 10.50s on the front the engine is the original 216 would that make a big difference , Paul.

Hi Pete , It has got the 216 engine with the Carter Carb but the tyres i have on the back are 11.00 20s it should have 10.50s but i could not find any , Do you think that would make a lot of difference, Paul

Hi Everyone , I have recently purchased a 1945 c60l chev , I have not driven it very much yet but when i have driven it it seems to go well enough in first gear also in second gear third is not too bad but fourth gear seems to be too high , The lorry seems to struggle to achieve fourty miles per hour , I would like to hear from anyone else who owns one of these lorrys so i can compare the performance , I am currently the owner of the Chevrolet c60l and a 1944 Morris Commercial C8 GS and a replica of Montgomerys Office Caravan , Paul.

Hi all , I am looking for some track rods for my morris c8 1944 , I could also be in the market for other spares and would appreciate any help in locating parts for the Morris , I am located in Norfolk near Kings Lynn and generaly attend shows within a thirty to fourty mile radius of home , I also have the replica Montgomerys Caravan that i use as accomdation at the shows , I am building another version at the moment which will hopefully be even nearer the original, paul.

I am not too clever at this downloading but i think you will get the guist of the caravan , The base is a flat Ifor Williams 14 ft Then fixed around the bottom is a Bedford Army lorry buck 1" thick hardwood The top is then covered in alumimium followed by canvas ,

Thanks for the telephone number it was spot on John Walker had a gasket set and it should be with me early next week

Hi All , I am new to posting on this site but i have read quite a lot of posts , I am currently looking for a new Head Gasket for my C8 , If anyone knows where i could get one it would be really helpful, I have recently built a replica of Montys Caravan to tow around to shows it also doubles as a caravan for me and the better half to sleep in , I will be at Raucby Military show in Lincolnshire this weekend coming the 23rd 24th and 25th so i might see some of you there ,
