white scout car diff, wonder how much one of these costs? would you need the pinion aswell? sounds like it will not be a straight drop in job.
I think I will go with the bigger wheels for now, don't like to modify my vehicles too much, just bought a GPW with a BMC diesel in it, that's gone without my even hearing it run!
So anyone in the UK got a set of 20" rims for sale? I have heard the phrase "war department wheels", does this mean wheels from different vehicles will interchange? will a wheel from a war time bedford fit my Ford? may be easier to track down a set from them, Regards, Gareth.

Default Who has a 1940s Ford Master Parts Book

Hi All

Do any of our members have a Ford Master Truck Parts Book from the 1940s maybe we could find which years the differential carrier is the same as used on CMPs. Then the leap to what other gear ratio were available.

I have the Mapleleaf Chevy master parts book as well as the US Chevy master parts book and they have help me find what a CMP part might cross over to a civilian truck.

You get sort of tired of walking into a parts store telling them what you have and their response is "you want parts for a what?" then they start laughing.

Cheers Phil

This Ford 218T 4x2 truck was fitted with a "post war Ford 5.14:1 ratio ring and pinion set (...) inside the original 1942 Ford axle case".

HTH,
Hanno
