Ford CMP Truck Parts- Australia
Good Day All.
As per Phil Waterman's suggestion I thought I would get the ball rolling on parts and supplies available in Australia for Ford CMP's with which I am familiar. I know firsthand the frustration of seeing great items available internationally only to find they do not ship to Australia or the postage cost is so prohibitive. In no particular order these are some of the things I have found which may be of interest or help other restorers. Some explanation may be added to the item. Dealers close and move shop so you may have to do a bit more digging but these are items I have found over the last few years and which I may have covered in my posts.
Will add more as time goes on. Hope this got the ball rolling and others will add to the list. Cheers,

Photos of painted transmission and covered fuel lines
Most welcome Tony,
Here are a couple recent photos. I redid my chassis brake lines and my fuel lines with the Bundy tubing. Note the bitumen impregnated loom cover on the fuel lines. Put correct loops in the fuel lines based on patterns from the parts trucks originals. Also recently stripped down the F15-A Battery Staff truck transmission (parts truck) to replace the incorrect 3 ton 4 x 2 truck transmission in my restoration. NOS guts from it will go into the correct case which is painted Early Ford Engine Green as mentioned in first post.. Hope this is of some interest. Cheers,

Me too, but not recently from Vinwire. He was getting reluctant to sell it a year ago so I found the Crazy Horse supplier instead. Bought the wiring loom material just a month ago from him. He had metres of it on the shelf when I went to the shop about 6 months ago before he closed it and went mail order only. Cheers,
