Wanted: CMP Parts

[James Y]

I am looking for parts to help finish my restoration of a 1942 Ford CMP.

Looking for the following:

1 Stepped head light ring
Splash shields on the inside wheel wells both sides
Ford radiator expansion tank
Complete set of data plates repo or original
Front radiator protector springs and bar


FYI, I will be reproducing the toolbox and tire clamps based off of George McKenzie's drawings along with the battery cover and under box petrol and tool boxes. If there is any interest by others let me know. I am in Edmonton, Alberta

Thx Jim

James,

I bought my 1942 Ford F-15A a year ago and i am actively seeking the exact same parts.

I ended up having to fabricate the spare tire holder and the radiator bar and springs. These last are pretty easy . It was basically two spring leafs from a truck suspension . Eyes forward , a tube fitted thru both ends and voilà ! Don't forget , on a Ford the spring leaves attach at the rear of the bumper !

To date , no splash guard ( kinda intricate with the mouldings or ribs ), no overflow tank, etc..

I go to Ottawa twice a year on military duty and go to the War Museum and take pictures of the parts i want reproduced by my machinist. Not original but the closest i can accomplish without a part source !

Good luck with your resto my friend.

If you ever need anything just give me a buzz.

cheers.

I assume you're talking cab 12 so I have some extra parts on this one. If it's cab 13 I have a couple of parts trucks.

[Robert Bergeron]

I will order after your friend has satified his needs.

Thanks.

Great picture but sideways a bit.

You live in a great part of our beautyfull country.

Been to Alta many times . Diverse and grand . Worked in the desert ( Suffield ) in 40 C heat and the snow in the mountains ( Mt Édith Cavel) the same week !

I have the exact same frig... truck, a Ford , unmistakeable .

Here's my F15A parts truck. The rest of the front end is around the yard somewhere. Both those inner fenders are there.

Robert: just an FYI : if you need any M37 parts..theres one sitting in the front of an abandoned and empty former junk yard just before La Plaine

Have no idea what the story is but it was sitting there when the yard was operating..now still there with a part fence , empty office, and empty field behind

completely visible from the road

Thanks Mark.

Will zoom the place soon.
