Mr apologies to Brad..but I knew he had one of those Japanese Thunderbird franchises..
Better a Mazda than a Nissan any day.
This is the best forum in the world for what you have taken on..
There are other CMP owners handy Truro and in Halifax..and Maces Bay New Brunswick...and the master of CMP lives in Burton NB..Just up the street a bit from you..Name is Bill Mulholland..know-er of all things CMP..Ex army wrench..worked on them for 75 years..to hear him tell you stories..and may have lots of parts or know where you can get some..Then there are the Barn boys that run between Eastern Ontario and the Maritime s ..Robs got relatives in the Vally and the are always on raiding parties to the maritime s..
But You may have to make a trip up to Eastern Ontario this summer to Bobs BBQ..A massive gather up of CMP people who camp out at Bobs 50 acre camp spot..usually June..but will have to Confirm with Bob for this years gather up..
Stay in touch.

Bob,

Welcome to this forum. Glad you switched from lurking to posting and I'm pretty sure we've seen your C15 on this forum before. Will look up the thread I am thinking of later, or maybe some of the other guy's memories are jogged now, too.

Hi Bob
Welcome to the crazy world of CMPs and the even nuttier world of cab 11...

Curious..... there was a previous posting a few years back of someone on the East coast who purchased a alledgedly complete truck similar to yours all disassembled.... sort of a Leggo project..... was that you or the origine of your truck....?

I have tinkered a bit with a cab 11 and may have a few spare parts or at least ideas to share.

Don't be afraid to ask questions and include as many pictures as possible as some of us can't read real good !!!!!

...one of the many other Bob.

Hi Bob

See the attached pic.....

On the cab 11 the special ..odd.... 90 degree goose neck is lead soldered onto the radiator tank...... never seen a loose one as a NOS one...... Biran Ashbury has the NOS radiator cap with chain.

You mayhave to buy a whole radiator to get that part. In most instances we wind up buying a delapidated radiator just to save the top and bottom tank.... and pay around $400 to have it recored with four rows of tubes.

It is usually easier to find a cab 13 rad (which won't fit )than a cab 11/12.... but don't give up yet....... not usre what I have at the barn....will need to look around..... and there may be some others on the forum with a rusted out rad that is willing to remove the neck for you.

HAng in there..

Bob

....ahum..... I think I have one from Mike's truck...... I know I have one with a piece of PCB pipe adaptation....will need to check what over all shape it is in..... stay tuned.

That's the one I was thinking of, Bob. Have you searched for that thread?

Good evening Hanno

I have not had much success on my search BUT then it all depends on what odd key words were used for the initial posting.

Will try again or maybe Bob will jump in and shed some light.
