Default More pictures please......
...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.

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:

Chris,

What a find!!!

Once you are set up and ready to sell some of Ford CMP parts, please let me know. I am looking for Ford switches, gauges, black out shields. The list goes on.....

I wish you the best of luck in your endeavour.

Peter

Default Filled to the rafters.....
Heard the expression but never seen an example until now.

Thanks for the pics Rob.... never seen such a beast before!!! I am more familiar with the cab 13 FAT with the cut off cab and the canvass gasket that joins the rear section.

Strange what is still out there.....some USA company just discovered thousands of WW I German helmets in Estonia....... wish they discovered something in Canada to ease the shipping burden.
