Presentation 1929 AC4 - 'Elsie'
Posté : mar. 16 sept. 2014 14:08
Good Afternoon all,
Firstly my apologies for using english on your forum, however my school boy French is 10 years old now and very poor!!
Last week I took delivery of the AC4 below, originally from the Correze region, perhaps someone on the forum lives nearby or may even know the truck?
There are some hints to its working life i.e.
What I believe to be the first owner's name plate on the dashboard,
Registration plate (right hand side) with;
Surname
The abbreviation: CPOS? Does anyone know what this might stand for?
Chamberet
Correze
The rear body appears to be a locally made livestock cage, possibly for carrying hounds? (tailgate lifts out and dosn't pivot to allow it to be used as a loading ramp)
I have had the engine running roughly, hopefully a light overhaul to include, piston rings, valves, gaskets etc will be all that is required!
First job has been to remove the worn tyres from their rims with the help of some French muscle..
I have 4 split rims, all michelin however 2 are concave dish and 2 are convex dish, all 6 stud. Did Citroen ever mix the two on a vehicle? Also 1 is pretty badly corroded, has anyone repaired these before?
Thanks in advance, I have many more questions etc but not sure if this is the correct place to ask them! Also will be in need of quite a few spares if anyone can help please?!
Cheers, George
