[Bob Carriere]

I can't tell if it is a pinup picture from your girl friend or a piece of sheet metal....

For God's sake take the engine cover out for a good picture.....

Do the hole in the top line up with the hole in the engine cover...?

I am not sure about the other holes...... the one with 3 bolts could be for a snorkel running to the top of the engine cover...... do you have a picture fo the top of your engine cover....?? these were very late conversions and very few actually exists..... you may have a missmatched top or engine cover.

The other hole with 6 bolts may have been for an radio antenna base.... it looks the right size.......again not a common conversion..... maybe one of a kind field modification.

There was a mount to hold the extendible antenna mast (either 20 or 34 foot versio) on vehicle roofs. The drawing I have of it shows a 3 screw mounting but is not clear whether the mout was for use on truck cabs or the top of the wireless body.

These modifications came late in the war and very few survived.... you truck may have been used for training troups or testing in Canada..... I do not recall ever reading that they had been used in actual battle conditions.

Now if you can find the original snorkel tube and the full installation kit you would be a rich man.

Eric,
I have a spare knob and the bracket it screws to on the outer window frame but I don't have a spare slider.Let me know where to send it and it's yours.I just removed it from a spare window frame and of course broke the long stud that ties everything together but it can be replaced.I wish I had a set of torches to heat things up properly to remove them.I also needed one of these brackets for my cmp and broke mine while removing it!

HI,
I was looking at Terry truck and he have the long bracket and the little hole on the hinge. So that will be on the early model of the cab 13

[hrpearce]

Hi Eric,
The holes in the centre of the windscreen frame are for the wiper shaft.

HI ,
I know that but i think they are on the early model only on my ford they are not there and i have the short bracket so what is my theory is the early model come with the long brackets so the holes on the hinge and the windscreen frame could go higher

[Brian Gough]

Hi Eric,

On the Chevs the original windshield throwout arms were the short ones. The longer arms were introduced around May 1942 to allow the windshield to open to a full 90 degrees, from 30 degrees.

A Service Bulletin issued in October 1942 shows a windshield conversion kit was issued to retrofit early vehicles.

HI Brian,
Thanks for the info so it was the opposite that what I was thinking Hum..... why my ford have the short one

[derk derin]

Eric,
I am glad you started this thread as I was looking at my windshield frames and they have the groove in the hinge and one of my windshield frames is missing both sliders on it but I wasn't worried about it as I have 2 spare window frames I was going to use but they are out of a Chevy HUP.they are the short sliders! Now I will have to hunt down 2 Ford long sliders for my truck as well.I will be visiting some parts trucks next spring and If I come across extra sliders,I will pick off one for you if you are still looking for one.I will send you the parts I have for you tomorrow.
Derk.

Hi,
Do you think this is a rebuilt tag for the motor

[cliff]

be nice if we could accually see the tag rather then a dark smudge in the background of a rather dark photo. Be better if you tidied the photos up so we can see them before you post them.

HI,
Nothing wrong with the photo nice and clear here

[NORTH-SHORE(CANADA)]

Hi,
Anyone else can't see the pic

[Paul Singleton]

Hi,

Mohawk was an engine rebuilding plant located in Montreal. I remember the company from the seventies and eighties but they must have gone out of business years ago. This would mean that the engine in yor truck has been replaced by a rebuilt engine. The numbers on the tag are the engine number that Mohawk gave your engine and the sizes of the crankshaft journals and cylinders after the rebuild.

Paul Singleton

[Bob Carriere]

Hi Eric

Standard engine rebuild tag.....

Cyl. bored .040 oversize.....main and rod bearings undersized at .010.

Grant Bowker has that manual..
It is the only CMP manual I have ever seen with a colour cover..
I'm not sure if he can scan and post the picture..It is quite impressive..

[Van Hove Herman]

Hi Eric,

Here some pictures from the cover in color and the part numbers
of the air connection between the air cleaner and the support on
the roof of the cab.
The flexible tube was going through the hole in the dogs house.
