[Bob Carriere]

We have recovered two more CMPs parts trucks in the last few weeks.

One a 1942 C60s ..... the other a 24 march1942 F15a.......both ran hard and parked wet years ago BUT still offers some good parts.

Will first deal with the cab 13 F15a.......with a dash mounted tag fo F15a -ATT-2 which we have translated to Anti-Tank Tractor .....possibly used a 6 pounder.

In the process of salvaging parts we have made the following discovery on the cargo box construction......... the box is similar to a 2C1 box but it has been build/assembled very differently.

Remember this is early.....March 24th 1942 and the rysted floor plates show evidence of having been made from "dot and dash" floor plate......and so are the cab floor. Having the 1942 cab floor in a cab 13 is unusual for us...... may indicate a very early cab 13 Ford liquidating what was left of old stock.

The cargo box also has some strange peculiarity in its construction.
The top boxed edge of the side panels and headboard are made of two bent/folded parts than welded together. see attached diagram and photograph.

More to follow has I work out the bugs in my new ACDsee software...........
