Those headlights are used on the mark 2 carrier, as well as the CMPs. Beside them are a bunch of the grenade bins for the Mark 1 carriers. Underneath the headlights are boxes of clutch covers (pressure plates) for the 38-53 Chevs.

Looks like a fantastic honey-hole.

Default Holy toledo!!!!!

You really got something there Chris.

The Gun tractors seem to be Ford from the shock absorber I can see.

But what about all those parts.

Start cataloguing the parts you have first that should keep you busy for a while and will drive us crazy waiting to see the list. You may be a very busy men!!

Cheers

Default A suggestion....

... you might consider getting a repro parts manual, one for Ford and one for Chevrolet, so you can accurately identify the various parts from the box description and parts number.

Good luck.

Some seriously great finds Chris just shows what is still out there waiting to be unearthed.

I think you may be the most popular man in England for a while...at least in the Blitz/CMP world anyway!

Default Every once in a while...

...an utterly amazing thread appears here on MLU. This is one.

The FATs are I think the 7B2 type, the very last design. It seems there were quite a few over there.

The spares are amazing... I am gobsmacked as I am sure are many others.

More pics please!!

Default Further to my last post

One thing you could do and it looks like you already have been doing it is to make sure you photograph everything thoroughly as it was when you found it. This makes for a really fascinating story.
