Thanks Arlon Bauer

Default Wow..!!

Arlon..
Have you been sneaking up to Stan Reynolds and sneaking them CMP's out under the fence...??
Nice bunch of iron..
Watch out for a one ton Ford with a lowboy trailer,and Ontario Plates.. with three seedy looking characters looking to Poach parts and anything related that is not nailed down..
It will more likely be "The Hammond Barn crew.." a motley lot if there ever was one..
Bob,Rob and Grant..you will probably find their pictures hanging in the post office under "WANTED...Reward"...
Welcome to the forum/..
Post lots of pictures..we love rust..!!

Default March 42 Fords

Nothing for March 27th but I have found a couple assembled here in Australia on March 13th 1942:

F60L Serial 37206 3G19676F SM2104 Mar 13 42

F60L Serial 37147 3G19603F SM2104 Mar 13 42

Presumably the chassis and many other parts for these would have come off the production line at Windsor some months earlier.

Like everyone else, would love to learn more about your collection, and welcome here.

I wonder how many others came from there.

Hi Keith
Thanks for responding from way down under lol. I agree with you most where made at Windsor. In the pile of rust I aquired is a 42 Chev 60cwt Dumptruck Airforce colors. cab very rough but have others. On another truck was the military dump box and on another was the proper hoist so can build it up complete along with my 3 15cwt fords What is nice is it has all the tags. Also have 2 1944 60cwt that where dental trucks but no vans on them one is a firetruck now which was used by Alberta Forestry Service. Some of my trucks pics already on here through the links to Stan Reynolds Museum . Have a Great Day Arlon
