How hard to find parts for CMPs??
Well, I was out for a hike today in my cousins acerage. I have heard rumors around that there was an old CMP somewhere out in the bush, and today I found it. Or more correctly, what is left of it. It was a ford I think, had a straight 8 in it. His neighbour restored a CMP, a 42 Chevy, and he salvaged a lot of parts of the old ford. All that is left is the frame, engine, tranny, axles, pretty much a roller. The cab is still there, put someone took a torch and has hacked it up pretty bad. What I could see of the frame didnt look to bad in the snow, the drive shafts were missing though.
Would something like that be too far gone, or are there cabs available? I am more into jeeps, but if there are parts available, I may go over with the tractor and haul it out of the bush.

And yes, I will go back and get some pictures later in the week.
