Default Welcome to the CMP world

Jonny

Looks like a good find, the body is in very good condition compared to some that have been found and restored. If you are new to MLU I think you are going to find a wealth of information and people willing to help.

Good to see another Pattern 12 being restored.

Default Nice

hi Jonny

The most important thing is: you have found the MLU forum. The collective knowledge here will have your truck running again in no time .

That is a very nice find... amazing what is still sitting around the bush waiting to be discovered.

Please realize it is a long road , the restoration game .. you need to be silly or something.. be patient and ask many questions .. we all start out with little idea.

Mike

Isn't that the truth

The more you learn about them ,the more you realise there is to learn(me anyway)

There is a suprising amount of variations throughout the models and then you get field modifications on top of that

I have found the majority of members of this forum are extremely helpful and an absolute wealth of knowledge

What's the engine number on the block please? I can't find a casting # 3860439 in any database! It's a 1950-on style number.

Default Welcome to MLU!

Great find Jon. It's good to see there are still unfound MV's waiting to be discovered. Over the years, B.C. has been very productive in that area. The best advice I can give you would be to join the Western Command Military Vehicle Historical Society located in the Lower Mainland. There are at least three CMP owners in the club (Harry Moon, Walter Webster, Ian Newby)who I'm sure will be of great assistance to you. I recommend you contact either of the following members who will hook you up with them:

Colin Stevens (604) 465-1184
Ian MacArthur (604) 582-6401

Good luck and keep posting pics. Derek.

(P.S. Interesting rebuild plate. I wonder how that truck came to be rebuilt in Washington state?)
