F8 cab layout and wiring
 

Does anyone have a drawing of the cab layout (location of switches etc.) for a cab 12 Ford F8? Also a wiring diagram? Were the engine compartment electrical items ( e.g. the voltage regulator ) the same for cabs 11/12/13 Ford/Chev?

I have such for the cab 13 but have never seen cab 12 details. There must have been maintenance manuals in 1941/42 for these vehicles?

David,

Hi David

This is the manual you need:

And this shows you where the switches go.

There's a guy (from Queensland I believe) who is making repro sets of these switch and data plates for cab 12s - anyone know his identity?

He was at the Corowa swap meet.

Ford Manual
 

David,
I have one of the Ford Manuals for sale. It has been well used but is original and is the 3rd addition. It is $25.00 including shipping to US address.

Thanks for your offer of the manual. I'm in Canada so I hope mailing offer still stands? I can send you a check from a US bank if that helps. Please e-mail me with your full adress.

I would like to see e-photos of your truck bed if you have any. My e-mail address is

Will be getting back to you with lots more questions!

Thanks also, Keith for your info and pics.
Cheers

Hi Keith,

Was that the guys from Corowa next to the model wooden carrier and 6x6 cmp??- they make a huge range of dataplates actually!

If it is, i have their details somewhere... will go for a rumage and post them up. Tony smith was very interested in a set too i think, so he might have their details also.


Ian.

Yes
 

Yes Ian, they were the ones.

Keith

Was that YOU in the trench coat, panama hat and dark glasses following me around the swapmeet?
Yes, I was interested in a set but by the time I got round to his stand, he'd sold the Ford plates set so I didn't have a chance to look at them. I did get a list and prices off him but it's "Filed away" in a safe place. When I remember where that safe place is, I can pass on his details. From memory, he was from Qld and the set of plates for a Ford or Chev CMP was something like $120.

OK, the two guys selling the repro plates were Shane Hodby and Peter Gough. I have contact numbers for them if anyone should contact me by PM.
