Before and After

Jason

Since my son lives in Ottawa I get to go there quite often - would like to call in one day to see your truck (and jeep!) more closely. I'll be at the Gatineau airfield gathering with my jeep on Saturday - maybe you'll be there?

Thanks for info on the knuckles - now that I see what they look like, I realise that there may be a pair buried in the boxes of spare parts that came with my truck ( thanks, Paul!). Otherwise I will contact your guy in Ottawa - I'm gradually finding that parts for F8's are relatively accessible once you know where to go. Last week I got UJ's from Car Quest ($16) and rear axle grease seals from Kingston Bearing ($10 each). Sandy at Tri-M in Collingwood just got me new wheel cylinders at about a third the cost of those from Mac's Antique Auto parts in NY.

My garage looks just like yours with a jeep and an F8 stripped down to the essentials - with one big exception - your F8 engine is done and mine is not!. I got a dah hraness from Dirk in Holland but will need help in rewiring since my truck was butchered in that respect.

I'm interested in your door markings - the 41-1-xxx type or the post-1943 xx-xxx type?! My truck was PWOR in Kingston. Door number is Z 70-286 Serial 21435.

Cheers
David
