Thanks for your response! The seller said that it was manufactured in May, 1939, hence the use of "1939". It is definitely an early one regardless of what year it comes under as the speedometer is mounted on the top of the engine cover in the cab. Will send pictures. Regards, Jim

 Glad you intend on doing it up. All the CMP's had open drivesharfs.

Trying to find it now without luck. Your truck is a late 11 cab as it has the vents either side of the grill. Late 1940 or early 1941. Drivesharfts are open type.

rear deck has been extended forward to the back of the cab and the toolbox and spare wheel carrier are missing as well.

Your reply gives me some heart as I did not want to be working with the older style Ford enclosed drive shafts! I had a '38 Ford truck once and sold it just avoid all the problems associated with the enclosed drive shaft. In that regard, any reason why the Canadians did not use the same enclosed style? As for the difference in years, it is disappointing that the vehicle was not advertised as it should have been. Thanks for clarifying the position of the speedometer; I found that it had moved to the open space around the steering wheel shaft on some pictures and assumned that this had to do with early production. My knowledge base is growing! Thanks for your help! Regards, Jim

Cliff;
Am aware that it was extended to the rear of the cab as the seller did relate that. After I've got it, I'll need to have some detailed pictures or drawing of what exactly went in the space. I'm aware that the spare tire went there as well as the gas tank (s?) and a tool box. Beyond that I'm not sure. Any references or help would be appreciated. I especially need the spare tire brackets. I did visit the Restoration Forum and saw the work being done on the tool box there; quite an involved task! Regards, Jim

Here's a link to the discussion about this truck on ebay.
http://www.mapleleafup.org/forums/sh...ad.php?t=10732 The 8 cwt Chevs had closed driveshafts but the Fords were open. Check out these links on 8 cwts too. There's a lot of info there. http://www.mapleleafup.org/forums/showthread.php?t=7896 http://www.mapleleafup.org/forums/showthread.php?t=6749 Give me your address and I'll send you all the 8 cwt info I have on a couple of CDs. If you do a search for posts under my username you'll come up with almost all of the 8 cwt threads on the forum since I usually reply to all of them.
