Well, it is official. Jason Ginn will take over ownership of Geoff Winnington-Ball's 1942 F15 CMP Truck.

It was a fairly easy decision to make as the truck was so far down the project list, that I think I would have run out of time before the truck got some attention, and given Jason's new business venture, it made sense to say good-bye to her.

For the past few years, the truck has served as a platform for my Chev engines and transmission parts in the back 40. Once those items were removed, the rear deck and fuel tank covering were removed exposing a very nice frame. With the exception of the box/tray/bed, the truck is fairly complete. The sheet metal still needs a lot of attention, but the drive train and the running gear (less the tires) are all in great shape.

So, I wish Jason all the best with the restoration of this significant truck, and I look forward to seeing it restored in the future.
