Any interest

[Alex van de Wetering]

In the same yard as thes 3, there are about 20 F15a but they are in pretty poor condition! The F15s are probably not worth shipping but these gun tractors must be fairly scarce!

Chris,

Awesome find. As mentioned by Keith, the gun tractor is the late type....very rare about anywhere apart from South America . All previous model FATs had the beetle back, this one has the open rear, very much like the late Morris Commercial Gun tractors.
Any F60T tractors and trailers? I remember there is thread on MLU with pics of a yard in South America, which I think might be one and the same. I am sure there is an interest in parts from several here in the forum.


Please tell me when you have found that box with mirrors! I could sure use a set or two. Maybe also headlights, blackout and dash switches if you decide to sell.

WOW

That is bloody fantastic mate. Im after blackout lights also ford switches and other bits if you decide to start selling parts. Keith told me about this thread and hes right its amazing well done.

[Lynn Eades]

Chris, Can you put me down for some mirrors please?

[charlie fitton]

...agreed - carrier mirrors.

...at the riskof salivating allover my keyboard.

May I suggest an unlisted telephone number so you will not be mugged....

Good grief can wait to see more.

As anybody got a good full view picture of that Ford FAT 7B2..... do not remember ever seeing one even in the archive files I have.

Great find Chris!

I'm in the market for spares, dash switches for example, mirrors, WHY?

Thanks,
Hanno

PS: for those who don't remember - Argentina got a lot of CMP trucks after the war. If you search this forum you will find pictures those late FGT's, both then & now.

I didn't see any mirrors, but will enquire.

Regards Chris

The 7B2 was actually the earlier two door turtle shell Cab13 body. These are the 7B3 soft top, which "supersedes all other production FATs, being the last type released during hostilities" (Words from the Design Branch Records).
Here are the 4 photos from the records:

Wow what an amazing story! I look forward to hearing more.
Ferret, you need to catalog this stuff and get a web site together.
I am blown away.
