Default Doug what part of the world are you located?

Hi Doug

Welcome to the crazy world of CMP collection, while personally I have Chevy CMPs and would agree that they are insome ways easier to work with my first question is where you are located?

The reason for asking this question is so our far flung members can give you an idea of parts availablity. From looking through the Forum you can get and idea of who is working on what where.


CMPs both Chev and Ford share a fair number of parts with civi trucks of the period which means that engine, transmission parts and brake parts can be found other than off another CMP. You will also find that CMPs also share some parts back and forth with Ford and Chevy.

Cheers Phil

I live in Northern Alberta, Canada. Thank you to all who have replied to my request. It is great to be apart of the CMP world.
I started out helping a friend and now have the bug!It also helps now being retired.

Default Ford or Chev

Personal choice is Chev,

Easier to get the engine out, cheaper to fix, & diffs are easier to work on. Oh & Chevs share commons with their truck counterparts.

I have a Ford, but that is just the way things go. the Chev is calling me...
