Lynx II, hull # 4225

[Alex van de Wetering]

Peter,

"stock" Windscreen, doors and roof would be out of place if this was a Gun tractor. The cab 11/12 Gun tractors used a body that stretched all the way from the firewall to the back and used unique doors, windscreen and roof.....unlike the 13cab Gun tractors which did use the stock windscreen and doors and had a specific body stretching from just behind the front doors to the back of the vehicle.

The code 8444 shows this is a C15A. From the pictures it looks like a nice example with panelwork in good condition and even with the strip along the roof line! It's hard to see in the pictures, but I think I see rear fenders(?). Retrofitted or original....? could it have been a water tanker?

nice find Peter!

Alex,

Thank you, I was a bit confused since there was a central winch, which I assumed only came with the Gun Tractor. This truck has been so heavily modified, and well done, that it hard to recognize where the original CMP begins or ends. The learning process is an enjoyable part of this enterprise.

Peter

Some of the 60cwt trucks were winch equipped
I believe as was the CGT.
After the war therebwas so much surplus lots of guys mixed and matched whatever components they wanted for specific tasks.
I remember seeing a marina about 20 years ago that must have had at least a dozen cmp type creations.

Peter, did that truck come from the north east corner of Prince Edward County just south of the Highway 49 bridge from Desteronto?

[Peter Duggan]

Bruce,

I'm starting to think that you know the location every CMP in the county. Are you aware of any Fords that are in the county or surrounding area? I'm still on the hunt for some components for my Lynx.

Perhaps if you posted a list of your needs then collectively maybe we can help you find what parts you need?
Alternatively, i also understand playing things low key sometimes to avoid being inundated with offers or getting jacked on prices because its a "want" rather than a "need"

[Peter Duggan]

Chris,

So far my search for parts has been going better than expected, so I don't feel under any great pressure.

What I'm currently looking for is a better hand brake handle and ratchet mechanism that goes through the floor, the gear shift lever, with the trigger toggle and a drivers seat. I know that there are better ones out there than the ones that I've got.

I'm confident that the list will grow when the rebuild gains a head of steam.

Thanks, Peter
