Looks like that place specialises in saving cabs and throwing away the rest.

Did you photograph or record any data plate details?
Did I photograph or record data plate details - being new to the Military Vehicles game the thought did not cross my mind I will not be so ignorant the next time.

My first priority was finding parts for my truck and then seeing if there were any 1940 MCP Fords with nice V8 engines. CMP's were a bit lower down on the list of things - sorry. I found two MCP Fords but they were total basket cases.

The CMPs seem to be an exception in the yard because a lot of cabs from other trucks were missing. All that gets left behind are the front mudguards and bonnets. The passenger cell part of the cabs are bought by hot rodders and rat rodders to stick on car frames. They must not be able to do that with CMPs and they get left alone.

Kind Regards
Lionel
