'42/43 Ford F15A
As a result of a pending move out West I am putting Blondie up for sale.
 Many of you have seen the development of the restoration here on MLU. It is time to let her go to a new home. If interested email me for more info. Cheers Mike Timoshyk

Merged your two threads. When an items sells just post a message in the relevant thread, and I will reset the prefix from "for sale" to "sold". Regards, Hanno

For Sale ...Again!!!!
blondie is still up for sale ..... a buyer has backed out of the deal....after reviewing all the restoration pics forwarded to him he decided that it was not in his best interest. (perhaps shipping cost to west coast) Go Figure?????? As a result .....Blondie is back on the market. Intersted buyers should email me for complete info and pics.....
For a complete viewing of resto pics email mtimo2@hotmail.com Blondie is still available for $8000.00 cheers Mike Timoshyk Last edited by Mike Timoshyk; 30-07-12 at 06:46.

Mike, sorry to hear that. Changed the prefix back to "for sale".
$8000 = €6500, sounds like a good deal to me. Have you thought of advertising it on milweb or ebay? Hope it finds a good home soon and wish you all the best on your move out west. Hanno

Just in case anybody got the wrong idea, it wasn't me that said I'd take it and then backed out.

re: Ford 15 cwt.
I have been watching these posts with interest, but feel that it is time to set the record straight on why this sale collapsed. I was fully prepared to purchase this truck based on the initial photo's displayed and information provided by the seller. I requested detailed images and I quickly identified one area of major concern to me. These concerns were communicated to the seller spanning several emails. The seller rejected these concerns and suggested perhaps I should re-think my decision as there are others waiting to make offers. I am sure that this truck will find a good home. BrianC

I've seen and driven this truck (plus own and have been restoring CMP's for over 30 years). No areas of major concern I'm aware of beyond a great runner with as much original stuff as you are likely to spend a lifetime looking for.
OK, OK. There is one BIG flaw. The chevron tires (yes...NEW...CHEVRON...TIRES!!) are backwards and should be 'v' down. At least according to the manual. You could either live with that or spend 20 minutes changing them around if you felt the need.

Seriously guys. I am sure that a rebuild of a flathead motor is in the $3K area now just on its own. Try to fully resto anything for Mike's asking price and see how you fair.
BTW, not affiliated with the seller in any way, just a little support for another mv guy!

Chris, you touch on a very good point. I've priced out what a CMP restoration costs, using a relatively clean, complete starting point. Not counting your own labour, given that you start with lots of NOS parts and don't have to get them one at a time at E-Bay prices, and assuming you've already got $30,000 in specialized tools, compressor, torches, etc. and space in the garage your wife would like to use for her car...it's still over $15,000 for things you need to buy or have someone else to do like sandblasting, machining or building the engine, tires, tubes, brake turning, shoes and lines, glass, paint and primer, wiring, gas tanks, rebuilding starters, generators, carburetors, nuts, bolts, taps, grinding wheels.... I love doing it, and the money spent over 3-4-5- years it is justifiable (-ish), but these things aren't cheap to do and, I'd suggest, for anyone who baulks at paying for a restored one, the alternative is paying more, taking years and, sadly, often running out of time and money before it's ever completed.

Ride to Amherstburg
Blondie and I drove from Windsor to Amherstburg this past weekend to participate in a time line event focusing mostly on 1812 aniversary. She performed wonderfully even in the 45+C temps....stop and go in a parade and then a static display for the whole weekend. Then is was another 45 min drive to the Canadian Transportation Museum and Heritage Village where she will wait for the Military Muster. No problems what so ever.
Gonna miss her.... cheers Mike Timoshyk Event Coordinator www.militarymuster.org

Now posted on MILWEB
Blondie is now posted on MILWEB since there appears to be no serious interest locally (Canada)
You can view her personally at the Southern Ontario Military Muster 25-26 August at the Canadian Transportation Museum and Heritage Village in Kingsville Ontario. Cheers Mike Timoshyk Event Coordinator Southern Ontario Military Muster www.militarymuster.org

the manuals, looking at C1, shows the open end down and then i think there was a bulletin saying to reverse that. Maybe debated on MLU some time ago? Then looking at the pictures in the Back Of Bill Greggs vol 1 the pictures of trucks in operation particularly the C60L in the ditch show the point end down or leading.
