Hey guys sorry for the long silent period.
I’m hoping someone can tell me whether or not the front bumpers are the same on Chev and ford CMP’s with #13 cab??
Thanks in advance!

You are working on a C15a Chev....... you can buy a brand new piece of 5 inch C channelCORRECTION 6 INCH .....identical to original CMP bumper......have it cut to size and drill your own hole.

Do you have a chewed up bumper to copy from or is it missing completely??
Do you have the radiator guard.....?

Don't think we have seen your beast photograph yet.

Make a detailed list of what you are looking for..... a lot of us have spares.

Fair weather is just around the corner......don't dare say Spring is here has we had some snow flakes coming down yesterday.

Are you aware of the Lindsay and Sterling auto flea market this coming weekend.

Good luck

Nice looking vehicle, David.

Is there a small, squarish metal patch top, right rear of the cab, to the right of the rear window? If so, you may have a cab and chassis assembly from a Wireless Truck.

Thanks David, Yes you are correct, the ID tag says the model is a C15A-WIRE-5. I’m not clear on the primary purpose for a wire truck though!😊
I am very pleased with the condition, spent most of its life in a airplane hanger in Winnipeg. It’s been robbed of a few parts though so I’m looking for:
Complete front bumper with the rad guard.
Complete doghouse
Rear window trim piece.
So if anyone could help me out it would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks.

For your engine cover - how are your sheet metal skills?
Phil Waterman has been kind enough to post drawings of the Cab 13 Chevrolet engine cover at https://www.canadianmilitarypattern....20Drawings.htm

Hi David.

Welcome to the CMP club. There are a few of us working on C15a’s in the area.

This is Robert Bergeron’s Wire-5 truck. Wire is just short form for wireless.
