Windsor F15A recovery
 

After a lengthy and varied negotiation process another truck has fallen into the possession of the Ford guys down in Windsor. Attached are a few shots of the not-so-difficult recovery. No doubt Geoff Bottoms and I will be right at it in the very near future. We have a plan for the truck already but that would be giving too much away far to soon. More to follow.

Plans for the new truck
 

You are going to mount the living quarters from the tow vehicle on the F15A?
Start offering battlefield tours in the "enhanced seting" body at the rear?

Aren't you glad that it was a 101" w.b. and not anything longer for your trailer?

Hi,
Wow Nice find what could i said it a Ford :D

Hi Mike,
One question what is the size of your trailer ?? I want to buy or make one to pull my willys and landrover and mabe CMP ??

Looks awesome Mike, the rounded windshields are unique !, obviously a post war life change but unique never the less.

Mike,
Good to see that the city finally came to their senses regarding that truck. A few years ago they had given it to the Windsor Regiment but wouldn't give them ownership so they didn't work on it. The truck was used to water the flowers in the various hanging pots etc in downtown up into the 70s and aside from moving here and there hasn't been used since. Well done.

With that tank on the back it was likely a rural fire truck at one time. I've got two that had vaguely similar tanks when I got them.

Mike,

Great find, congrats! Am looking forward to hear / see what you are going to make of it.

Meanwhile, are you on the lookout for a Chevrolet CMP Roof & windscreen?
