ploughman Posted July 3, 2020 Share Posted July 3, 2020 Asking on behalf of somebody else. I am going to assume this is an Ambulance. Thanks Bryan I've been left this picture of what I think is a Chevrolet CMP C15A army truck. (I could be wrong!)The picture was taken in 1945/1946 near Naples.Can anyone say more? Can the cabside number tell us anything? The number is A 5932731. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Runflat Posted July 3, 2020 Share Posted July 3, 2020 Can't see it! The number doesn't help - it is part of a series allocated to the Middle East. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Runflat Posted July 4, 2020 Share Posted July 4, 2020 It's either a F60L or a C60L - 'F' and 'C' for Ford and Chevrolet respectively, '60' for 60cwt (3 ton) and 'L' for long chassis. The C15A was a Chevrolet 15 cwt, with 'A' for four wheel drive (as opposed to C15 for the two wheel drive version). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LarryH57 Posted July 4, 2020 Share Posted July 4, 2020 (edited) I guess if it was a Chevrolet then it might have had the radiator overflow bottle on the side of the cab that's showing, so perhaps a Ford F60 then? However at some stage I think Chevrolet got round to deleting the exterior bottle on Chev FATs, so may have done so on the F60 chassis Edited July 4, 2020 by LarryH57 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maurice Posted July 4, 2020 Share Posted July 4, 2020 Larry ,only early 13 cab chevy`s had the overflow tank exposed , later they moved under the front wing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maurice Posted July 4, 2020 Share Posted July 4, 2020 but the bumper radiator protector bar looks like the Ford model , leaves on top of each other , Chev had 2 , one in front of the bumper , and the 2nd at the rear . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LarryH57 Posted July 4, 2020 Share Posted July 4, 2020 My post was a bit unclear - I believe, like Maurice, it is a Ford. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
