Another (suspected) F22 found

[RichCam]

I have been wondering about my Cab 13 Ford CMP. I thought it was an F15A - no data plates - in the 43 or 44 vintage but it has the 20" rims and some other components that are bigger than the standard F15A. Could it be a F22 based on the other pictures in this thread? What would I be looking for to identify it as an F22?
Thanks, Richard

Richard,

Don't forget many many CMPs were rebuilt after the war and components were re-used over and over again. This means that your F15A could have been fitted with other axles, wheels, engines etc. after the originals wore out or when the owner converted his truck for other uses.

That said, please refer to my web-page http://www.geocities.ws/cmpvehicles/f22.html for the most comprehensive description of an "F22" (it wasn't an original designation) to date.
It basically was an FGT chassis without winch and a regular Cab 13 plus cargo box.

Please post some detail pictures of the chassis and axles so we can have a proper look.

Thanks,
Hanno

In particular we need to see the steering box and steering ends Richard. I recall this vehicle appearing on MLU some time ago, and I have a few saved images from that thread, but unfortunately none of them show these aspects.
