CMPs for sale in New Zealand

Great looking truck, but I don´t know how authentic that Toyota engine is...:)

Well, if you want authentic (but topless!), try this Ford F30.

Is this an authentic (post-war) NZ (con)version?

toyota engined chev
 

the very early toyota 4wd engine is a very close copy of the chev motor,it looked the same as my 39 chev master 85 sedan,im going on memory here as it was a long time ago
the c8ax is in very good order im told on 1st hand info
toyota in a chev is personly not my cup of tea

Toyota 1F/2f engine
 

Toyota bought the rights to the Chevy inline six back in the late 60's or 70's . The 1977 Chevy Nova inline 6 has electronic ignition. YOu can take that one out and put it in the 2f and all you have to do is move the gear and change out the springs on the weights. There is a kit for it or I have the print out for doing it yourself. Now the engine is not exact, the plans were used for a starting point and Japanisized , but it is close.

C8AX sold on 5 Mar 2006. The reserve ($5000) was met, though I don't know how much it went for eventually.

nz ford for sale
 

mike that ford ,along with the rest used to be at Timaru on the coast, within a mile of the sea,it would be hard to rebuild one on its own as you would need them all to make one!
as the saying goes "rust never sleeps".

Do I understand correctly the picture shows a different truck than the one actually offered for sale?

Hanno the truck without the roof is from the west coast of the south island i am pretty sure.the other one is from kurow in north otago south island,and is one of the ones mentioned
by tony smith in the for sale section a while back(its rusty)

Dave A with the topless F30 is a CMP fanatic, also owning possibly the nicest Portee in NZ. He is selling the F30 because he is copping grief every Warrant time (roadworthy inspection) over the crane not being certified and plated by LTSA. His argument is that it's a "Lifting beam", while the checking station contends it's a crane. OSH laws have a lot to answer for, and a lot of old trucks don't fit neatly into modern classifications.

Kenny, going to Blenheim? Missed you at Wanaka!

hi Tony no sorry not going to Blenheim at easter,
murray oben and fred naish and others from the south going. Easter is family time so i miss out on the easter shows

At 7k dollars they are being very optomistic I would think . Looks like a genuine GS body . But rather rough and tatty looking .

Tony,

Dave :salute:

hi Dave ,that f30 has been sold to a friend who got one of the ones from Kurow and one chassis etc from me.

Portee sale
 

Hi Tony, A very reluctant sale :( but I have to sell as I've purchased a RL Bedford and trailer so I can transport the LP2 about. So there you have it. Portee needs a bit of finishing otherwise its all good.
David...

Re: Portee sale
 

Would the Portee with it's servo assist brakes and low ratio diffs be a satisfactory tow vehicle? (Maybe need a Bedford engine transplant?)

Portee Power
 

Hi Tony, after seeing the picture of the C60 with trailer at Corowa that was my first intention, Problem being the Portee's a great truck and will go anywhere but with trailer full of carrier especially in these parts which are very hilly I would have to leave now to go to next Easters Rally which is just up the road. The beauty with the RL is it will take the carrier aboard and travel at a good rate of knots to where I intend to go.
cheers David....
