At least the snow will slow down the mosquitos. But I'll still kill any that dare to stick their long pointy noses anywhere near me, whatever the season.

Could have used you today at the barn! We had a few mossies flying around. Lucifer was so hot today, we had rain in the barn. Not surprising that the bugs were out.

Kris, Now that you have some classic Canadian iron parked at the Hammond Barn, you will have to pop in more often. We will provide you with a grand tour of the entire facility and show you the ropes.

Interestingly, Lucifer was a topic of discussion at Copenhagen this past week.

Glad to have met you today. I'll leave it up to you to introduce your CMP. Welcome to the fold!

Likewise was nice to meet you and Bob. Did you get your muffler back in operation?

I had the fortune of visiting the Hammond Barn this past Sunday to check out my newly acquired modded CMP truck ..... aka The Bone-Crusher.

Looking forward to seeing those pic you took Bob.

I was absolutely blown away at the devotion and following everyone at the barn has for this period of vehicles ...amazing!

next time im at the barn i would like to cover the truck and clean any accumulated junk inside

Bob what do you want for some old seat frames?

Bob, regarding the tool box mounting on the 2B1, if you study some of the pictures, the bottom of the tool box is at the same level as the top of the longitudinal sill under the main box. On the 2A1, the longitudinal sills run full length of the box and tool box so when the box isn't installed on the truck the tool box is still in place. I imagine the 2B1 was the same before some farmer or the like got hold of it. (Just before posting this I looked at a drawing in Gregg's Military Vehicle Profiles and it doesn't have full length sills so?)
These pix show the U bolts on the 2B1 on a Cab 11 F15A. The 2 wheel drives have a wider frame is why they made those sills that way. You just use the other holes in the sills and the top flat iron sticks out on the outside of the frame instead of on the inside. In my body parts list the first type 2B1s used U bolts on the tool box and the later types used J bolts. Yours being a Cab 11 it should be the first type so should use the U bolts the same as on these box pix. Is your box originally off your truck or what?
