Thanks for the info!

Were these changes introduced during late 1944 or early/mid 1945? I have never noticed them before, but then again i don't think that I have ever seen a Ford as late as this one. Everything around here seems to be 1942-43 vintage.

If anyone had an image of a truck fitted with legible wiring and lube charts I would love to see them!

Thanks Grant!
It is amazing how much info is on this forum. I searched "door" "door stamping" "inner door" before posting these images and never found those threads!

Default Clean the plates

I found that a little soaking with brake fluid and wipeing removed the paint of my plates and it was salvagable. It was worn and scratched before the paint was applied but it cleaned up pretty well.

Found those pics of this truck that I took a year or two before it got moved across the road to where you took shots.

Sweet truck. Too bad it's a Ford.....

I just love that it's still being taken care of and used. There can't be many CMP's left in Canada that are still being used as work trucks!
