Hi Terry,

It is great to see you bought a CMP truck - a Ford to boot! - and are very enthusiastic about getting it back on the road. You are lucky to have a truck to start with that is more complete than most CMP collectors start off with. Although parts supply for CMP trucks can be classified as "satisfactory", depending on the parts you are looking for, it is not anywhere similar to the parts availability of many other Historic Military Vehicles, notably US types.

But it will take more than just a few quick postings on this forum to complete your truck. Yes, the parts are out there, but this is not your FLAPS around the corner. Take your time, get to know your truck (study the maintenance and parts manuals, read up on the hundreds of years of experience posted here), build your network of CMP friends (this is the best place next to real world contacts), join a HMV club and I assure you you will come across the parts you need.

I don´t intend to sound harsh, but maybe I do because I´m a Direct Dutch Guy. In that case I apologise. All I´m trying to do is to make you feel at home in The Great Worldwide CMP community.

Hope this helps,
Hanno
