1941 f8
4 Attachment(s)
This is the winter project, a fairly complete f8,just missing a box.
I was wondering what the small back window is all about ? Anthony |
They had a canvas speaking tube that hooked on those twist fasteners and went to the rear compartment.

Well done Anthony...

good to see a 800 cwt going to a good Canadian MLU home. I tried my darnest to talk Ernie out of those bloody 13 inch rims, but good on him he stuck to his guns and they stayed with your truck. Get yer done! Cheers Rob
If you don't mind Anthony I will add a clearer shot of your data plate for people here keeping track of the registry. |

Anthony,
Gordon Piro in Yellowknife has a good 1B1 box that's right for your Cab 12. It's a long ways up there but it would be a good excuse for a summer road trip. I know because I did it a couple of summers ago. Here's a couple of pix I took of it in the back of an F15A. |

Is this the right fuel tank set up for a wire less body,
There is a fuel selector valve on the floor.Looks like there was a tank on both sides at one time. Anthony |
F8 numbers
Hi Anthony
My F8 is serial 21435 (340 behind yours) and my engine number is 45176 (799 behind yours). My date is 11/7/41 which I assume is 7th Nov 41 only a few days behind yours. Wonder if the serial numbers were in sequence for all Ford CMP's not just the F8's in which case 340 in five days might be reasonable. Interesting that yours has the FFW speaker tube cut-out in the cab and mine doesnt. So did they make this cab mod for the FFW only? My truck is also C/D 98. Cheers David Kingston |
More on F8
Anthony
Now that I see your pictures, your truck does not have the FFW speaker tube cut out. I was puzzled if it did have because there was less reason for one with the long box which yours would have had ( along with TWO fuel side tanks) than with the short box FFW which had a long gap between the cab and the rear box. Not sure if the rear window insert is original or not - mine doesn't have it. I see that someone moved your door handles down quite a bit! David |
Anthony,
Since you're quite new to the forum, here's a few threads on the 8 cwts that should help you out. 8 cwt pictures C8 data plate |

Thought Id do up the trans. luckly it came with a 1948 spare I had to use some shafts and needle bearings. Found the tail bearing and seal on the shelf at my parts store.
Does anyone know what color the shifter should be, looks like the whole top plate and shifter may have been a body color. Does anyone know where the compressor hose runs to? |
engine ready to go

Thought id show some progress , this is a 1948 rebuilt flathead , but transmission is the original to the truck .
Does any one know why this modern engine wont work in this truck ? Anthony |

I don't know why it would not work..as long as the bell housings fit and the splines all match up you should be ok. Here is some additional info that may be useful to you.. Quote:

flathead v-8
G'day there Anthony,
the only reason it may not fit is because of the later post type dizzy, might go close to the wheel well/cab side?? I think it is very close in a 13 cab don't know on you jigger though. If that is the case you can use the earlier timing cover (crab or divers bell type) if the camshaft has the drive slot in it and a little playing around you should be able to get it all together without to much stress, I guess that somebody on here has tried this before and may be able to give you more info but all the best with your resto. :cheers: |

fuel system

I was wondering if this fuel filter is off this truck it came in the pile of spare parts.
Also wondering what runs along the back of the cab and into the hole in the cab? Thanks Anthony |
Fuel filter
Anthony
Yes that is the correct fuel filter for your truck. The bracket attaches to the gear box left hand side. |
Replacements parts....
Anthony that filter looks like the original.... you will find filter guts, inside filter elements, gaskets,etc. from any of the Jeep dealers.... try Peter de Bella.

diff rebuild
2 Attachment(s)
I ve taken the diff apart and it looks like I need to get the pinon out.
The pilot bearing on the end of the pinon took a hike some where along the way and is completely gone. Does anybody know how to pull the two pinon races out of the housing. Or a picture of the proper tool? I havent tried anything yet. Thanks Anthony. |
Cargo box
Hi Anthony
Nice to see you restoring the F8 Re cargo box 1B1 for your F8, if you are interested I will donate the cargo box for your restoration, it is in very good condition with data plate and requires no repairs, can be installed as is or you could repaint if required. I have finally finished the resortation on the C15A, but I am missing 2 peices of cab trim. |
Not fair......
.....Xmas is over....how come he still gets presents.....???
Mighty decent of you Gordon ... find another forum where such things are happening,,,,, Bob |

This puts a spring in my step gordon, thanks for the offer.
this will give me one less thing to worry about while I do the chassis and cab work. I ve mapped it out and its only 4800kms round trip I shall wait till closer to spring I would think. Did you do the work on the box for another project ? Thanks again Anthony leeds |
1b!
stay in touch, there is always someone heading south that could take it to saskatoon, cheaper than driving
found this cargo box east of Nanton, Alberta and though it would be better in my yard than in the dump. you know green and have to have ! its a sickness |

Gordon I just put the peices together this is your truck at Nanton.
I grew up at Claresholm just south of Nanton , Im at Moosomin SK. Now Any truckers I should talk to up there, or should i hold of till spring? Anthony |
1b1
I will check on the cost of shipping to Saskatoon, and then you can go from there, this snowplane came from around your area
|
snow plane
There is a snowplane day in late march every year here at Moosomin . They usually get 10 -15 snowplanes zipping around .
I think the Fudge planes were made at Moosomin. |
rear end

Brought home the complete bearing set for the diff today , installed the pinion set up with a ball bearing instead of the roller style that was on the end before.
One good thing about -25 celcius is the shrink on a bearing race , just falls into place. Anthony |
ahleeds
This is off topic, but if you grew up in Claresholm did you by chance know my uncle, Guy Price. He was known as Blind Guy. He may have been before your time but he lived his life in Claresholm after the war. He survived the war even though having the ship he was on in the Mediteranean torpedoed and sunk. He was injured by a shotgun blast to the face and blinded (hunting accident) near Clareshom. He is buried just west of Claresholm. Cheers, Barry |
for you Barry
I asked Dad about your uncle Guy. He deffinatly knew him and used to help him cross the street when hed see him waiting at a cross walk in town .
He also said he was very independant and did alot of things himself ,like shingling his house roof late into the night. Dad knew this story because Guys neihbour came buy at 11:30 pm and called up to him isnt it alittle dark to be up there only to realize what a dumb question to a blind person..Guy answerd back the dark doesnt really bother me too much .
