Hi Rich,
Always good to see a CMP being brought back to life. Two remarks:
1) CMPs were never fabricated for civilian purposes. But they were sold as surplus after the war and used in large numbers by civilian operators both in Canada as well as in many countries in Europe.
2) The data plate dated Jan.1941 most likely came from an earlier F60S as the Cab 13 wasn’t in production then, IIRC.
If I lived near you I would come over and swap that 2B1 body for a civilian one. Keep us posted on your progress.
