I have all those manuals.....I'll have a look today to see if they are original or not.

I have the Repair Manual scanned to memory stick and hold a hard copy of both the Repair Manual and whatever the parts book is called. Its missing covers and a few of the front pages. I'm hanging on to them while I still have the trucks but can send you the memory stick which a copy centre or Staples can use to produce a hard copy. I had couple printed and save the original for the bookcase. I have not gotten around to having the parts books scanned but can look up anything you need.

Rob probably has copies of all this stuff in better condition that most of the rest of us.

Now that your 1/4T is finished, are you moving on to 3/4T trucks? If you are and need parts, I can give you some contacts here on the west coast that may be of use. Just let me know.

Jes & Rob; Thanks for your responses. Ill wait to see what turns up in Rob's search, and go from there.

Jess: I cant say much about my next potential project, as it is not a solid plan yet, but If I do get a 3/4T under way, Ill be sure to get in touch.

Thanks!!

You must realize that once you have a 1/4T and 3/4T the only way is to go up to a deuce for a matched set. You should be able to find these old trucks in many places around Alberta. I've seen photos but haven't had locations shared for fear of border raiding. Some of the regulars here on MLU will know where if you are shopping. Have fun and keep us posted.

That is a scary thought Jes. Perhaps I should slowly back away while there is still a chance...

Wayne, I sold mine many years ago. What I can tell you is that the Canadian manuals are superior to the US ones. Much more detail and resolution in the photos. I also found the US manuals handy whenever there was an aspect that the Cdn manual missed. Together they compliment each other and we're a great resource when I did my frame off restoration.
Look south for US sheet metal if you get one and need parts. I passed on a mint cargo box last year for $500 and a pair of front fenders at $250 each...
Didn't need them but should have grabbed them...

Good luck on your next project Wayne, I started with an M38A1 CDN2 and followed that up with an M37 CDN. I've since worked my way up to 6 wheel firetruck and 5ton M931A2 among a dozen other things. It just never stops...
