Ford CMP Found

[Lauren Child]

Another bump - is anyone close enough to get any more pictures?

[Keith Webb]

As mentioned these are the normal fitment to 3-ton CMPs from 1944 on that we see in Australia. Here's a photo I took around 1973 of a 1944 Ford F60S tipper still in use back then.

The photos of the found truck at the start of the thread are not of a F22 model as that was on the 101 1/4" wheelbase.

Come to Australia to see tons more of them!

Thanks Keith, but it's not the hubcaps that I'm interested in. The truck at the top of the thread has:

- small wheelbase
- stirrup steps
- late features (like the hubs)
- what looks like the same odd transfer box lever

all of which is starting to add up to a potential F22.

If someone local can check whether:
a) it's got an internal battery box
b) it is indeed a 3 position transfer box lever

then we'll know for sure

So it has, now I've had a better look at the side image and seen where the rear spring hanger is, I think you could be correct about the F22 diagnosis.
