Ford CMP parts
Well it happened....I don't know if any of you went down this street or not but here goes....Has anyone ever spent 5 hours trying to get brake pressure?
We bled and bled and adjusted and honed and did everything BUT replace the master cylinder. When it was all said and done and & 3 ltrs of brake fluid later I had to find a new Master Cylinder. I just got off the phone with Chucks Trucks and started comparing parts numbers and books. It turns out he has a good supply of parts for CMPs. If you are looking for something specific it may well be worth your while to give him a call. http://www.chuckstrucksllc.com/startframe.htm Tell him Mike from Windsor sent you..... cheers Mike Timoshyk

The brake master cylinder looks like it should fit a CMP trailer, but not a truck (are Fords trucks?). But yes there are common parts to Chev CMP, Ford CMP, Ford commercial patteren and Chev commercial pattern. CMPs were an early form of parts bin special.

Sorry I wasn't clear when taking a jab at ford lovers, my question wasn't whether the master was the correct shape for Ford CMPs but whether Fords were really trucks. Is the cylinder actually the correct diameter for CMP use?

Having had both Ford and Chev trucks I can say that Fords are trucks. Just that Chev are better than Ford. Let the Games begin! Gord

I think the army must have felt the same way, since it always seemed to me that there were far more Fords out west, and the chevs were all east.

Ford parts
For all the feed back, thanks....just a quick note. When scrolling through the pages of Chuck's Trucks and having had a good and educational (both-ways) discussion here is some interesting stuff some of you probably know but others may not.
When you look at a Ford Parts Manual for CMPs (the only CMPs I know of are Fords) you will see for example: 91T-2140 this is the part number for Master Cylinder. 91A-2140 is the number on the Chucks Trucks site. Similar but not the same as the number in the CMP parts manual...it states 91T-2140. Part numbers for other items have a "C" in the number such as 21C-9872. The "A" stands for automobile and pickup truck, the "T" stand for Truck 1 1/2 ton and over, and the "C" stands for Commercial. Chuck does not list all the parts he holds, but lists for Auto and pickup because they are the most popular. He does hold 91T-2140 in stock which is quoted in the CMP parts book for 42 Ford. He also holds a variety of T and C parts and it is best to call him for that hard to find piece....he just may have it. For you Bow Tie guys I am truely sorry that you have not experienced first hand through ownership the pleasures that abound with the V8. Heat, in the winter most necessary, sound, nothing perks up the ears of a hotrodder like the sound of a flattie cruising in to a show and shine, and the challenges associated with frontal distribution.  Cheers from the home of the Ford CMP Mike Timoshyk

Re the Ford vs Chev debate, we can just let the long term record stand for itself. One of these two companies ended up filing for bankruptcy protection, and the other is doing alright. Nuff said.
