Ford CMP bracket identification?
2 Attachment(s)
Hi All,
Can anyone tell me what the following brackets on my Ford 3 ton CMP are for?The first one is above the windshield frame on the drivers side. http://www.alfrules.com/derk/IMG_7199.jpg The second are a pair of brackets behind the passenger seat along the back panel and cab next to the curtain bag hangers. http://www.alfrules.com/derk/IMG_7200.jpg Thanks for any help you can provide. Derk. |
Bracket
The one over the windscreen is the mount for the sun shade arm.

Sun Shade
Hi Keith,
Thanks for the identification.Now my next question I am sure you knew would be asked,does anybody have a picture of one and were they common? I have just looked through my Ford parts book and could not find a reference or picture of the sun screen.Thanks for the help. Derk. |
Dirk, the small brackets next to the side curtain bag mounts are for the first aid bag.
and no i have never seen one ,i did ask the question here quite some time ago but no reply so i take it no one else has either(i stand to be corrected) cheers. |

Here are some pics of an original sun shade thing I took at Max's place last year. The last pic is from a recovered cab. I think those sun shade attachments are an Aussie modification. :kangaroo Greetings Chris |
Hi Ken,
Thanks for the response.I know Doug Weatherston has been trying to find out information on the first aid kit for the CMP but has had no luck tracking one down.He only has a picture of the kit list for the trucks with the first aid kit pictured in it.I was wondering where they would have stored the kit,but if you say the brackets are for the bag,that would explain where it was stored.I would think hooks on each side of the bag to attach it to the brackets or a bar running through the top of a canvas bag?Maybe somebody else has information they can add?A mystery yet to solve! Hi Chris, That is the first sun shade I have seen for a CMP.Out of all the one's here in Canada,I have not seen one,even on wrecks there is not a hint of anything ever mounted there.Does any other CMP scrounger out there know of a sun shade mounted on any trucks they have come across?Interesting! Thanks all for the help! Derk. |

First Aid Kit, Pouch

Gents,
I believe this is the First Aid Pouch you are refering to and I have only ever seen two. These two pouchs both are in different states. NO dates,markings or other good info. I have not seen the contents of the kit itself. I am not a truck "guy" but when I see something that could be military I grab it for trade on MKII Carrier items..... Anyone??? Cheers, Bruce |

Bruce,
I think you are right as I just checked this 'kit' layout picture and around the top left hand corner you can see this very same bag as well as a tin straight under it with the words First Aid on it. Any chance of a few more pictures with the ruler layed out? |
That's it!
Bruce,
Thanks for posting the pictures.I have been researching for that pouch and stayed up until the wee hours of the morning looking on the internet and finally found the kit layout picture Ausmick has posted.I have been in contact with the guy that hosted the picture on his website and asking for better pictures so I can make a copy of one but your pictures are an excellent quality to make a reproduction from unless I can find carrier items Bruce would be interested in.I will dig through the shed tomorrow and see what I can come up with! Derk. |
Reproduction.......
HI Bruce
Thanks for the wonderful pictures........ never actually seen one before. Are the edges of the bag covered in leather......??? Any chance of posting some measurements...... close up of the sewing details.... snaps.... hooks on side..... ....and finally where are you located in Ontario...? Attention Stewart Loy...... any chance of reproducing with canvass left overs....... ? Boob |
