F15A pics from BC on a April morning ........
 

Hello All

Well spring has sprung in BC finally :eek: , bout time !

And like all MV people I like to take pics of my own vehicle and hope you dont mind me sharing them with the MLU community, its maybe not the best CMP but not the worst either and maybe this will get others to post pics of there pride ride's too ....... hint ...... hint :yappy: and yes to our brothers and sisters down under and all around the ponds of the globe you too please :kangaroo

Well enjoy as I sure am ......... have a MLU kinda day :thup2:

Terry,

It's a great find and I hope you get to enjoy it a lot this summer.

Attached goes a pic of a MLU member's truck, a C15A, with the same type of body as on yours. Note he has removed the angled steel strips and plated over the wheel wells. Almost looks like the real thing!

I know the owner of that truck he has helped me out alot with questions and concerns eventhough he is on the other end of Canada, he has gone above the call with helpfull information for me , and yes Ive thought about doing my wheel wells like that also BUT with my larger 9:00x20 tires not sure it would work but have not rulled it out.

I am also going to put on cargo racks and troop seats as soon as I find some close to me.

Its an everchanging project, next is to get it fired up for the fist time after may years asleep

Isn't the internet and instant communication marvelous and how much we take it for granted. A military vehicle collector from Holland sends a picture, of a truck in Ontario, to another collector in British Columbia! Can you imagine how lonely a CMP collector would have seemed to have been 30 years ago.

When I bought my C8 several years ago I didn't know what a CMP was until I started searching the net. To me they were all just old Canadian army trucks. What a difference a number of years and 1100 posts on MLU can make! Instant info out of Europe, Australia and all over N America. Parts from anywhere. I got my Motley seat out of the US as well as my 19 set and info on the Motley came out of the Netherlands. Without the net I wouldn't have known what they were, much less where to find them. Even books on the subject would be impossible to find if you didn't know they existed.
All this information exchange makes you wonder what the next 20 years will bring. When my dad was a kid he was at Lands End when Marconi sent the first transatlantic message. How times have changed!

Terry,

I took a quick look at the Ford rear window and compared it with the Chevs. Although I didn't have a measuring tape with me they sure looked alike. Here are some shots (Orange truck is a Ford, the remainder Chevs):
