Thanks Bob, I will print off this information. Dad learned his mechanic trade in the army and his hobby is restoring antique vehicles. (Only Fords are allowed to darken his laneway, hence the F15). He has the knowledge and skills to fabricate, and I can pass the advice on to him.

Parts truck arrived last week.
 Follow up question on turret shapes. Were round turret rings Chev, and the rectangular turret hatch Ford?

My C-15A had a square hatch int he 13 cab. I think it was original to the vehicle.
I also had a 42 HUP project vehicle (that i Sold on to a Canadian friend of mine in Virginia) and it also had the square hatch.

The round hatch came out in late 44 or so and was not a Ford vs Chev thing. Just production dates.

Thanks David. I will pass that on.
Dad had a look a the engine in the original truck and I think he told me the numbers on it suggest a rebuild.
