Ford CMP New to me

[GCarlson]

Hi, I've inherited a Ford CMP in running condition and am starting to learn about it. Had been parked for 10 years and the guy I could have asked about it is gone. So, questions:

1. Manuals - is there a source to get manuals or just scans?

2. Transfer case - how does it shift or operate? The lever is bungi'ed back, perhaps due to rattling. No plaquards - does this lever move fore and aft for 2wd, 4wd, perhaps neutral? What about the apparent PTO output?

3. Sources for parts or knowledge?

4. Sources for gages or people able to rebuild?

I believe I have a type 13 Ford, probably short wheelbase pickup style. This was a non-mil forest service truck, originally recovered, rebuilt, and driven in the Alcan Highway Anniversary Drive in the early 90's. I believe it was covered in some magazines at that time.

Would love any help or input - e-mail
