I know who the competition for CMP's is and I wondered why you guys didn't have things locked up after a whole hour had passed on the posting.

Gord, Locked up means on the trailer heading east...Unfortunately, the Rotters have not yet successfully bent the time/space continuum. But, we are working on it!

Well, one of you silly bastards make up your mind! I can buy it outright for you, but I have no place to store it and it HAS to go from where it is, ASAP.

BTW, for those of you with long memories, this was originally an Elliot Bros truck.

Good snag, Gord. Had the photos been posted earlier, Bob C would have made this a real two horse race...

Well, I don't know if it's "won the pot",or, now its my problem.

I had a 12 cab Ford and gave it away to get rid of it. This will be a long term project and maybe light stone, instead of O.D. like the last one.

Does the price include shipping to Ganmain? I'm sure Howard could make good use of the spare wheel carrier and the body.

Isn't it a thing of beauty? And yes it would look good among my collection!
One question, Boys... Spare wheel carrier? I did not think 11 & 12 cabs had a spare carrier?! I know the spare on mine was secured inside the tray via a bolt & nut welded to the head board (Obviously not original).
Gord, good luck with the project, keep them 12's rolling!

Default 12 cab Chev

Bob

Thanks for the kind words, the info on the truck and the offer of technical support, I'm sure I will be in touch soon. I am suprised I managed to sneak in ahead of The Rotters, very suprised!

I am not unfamiliar with the 12 cab truck, if you go to Soft Skins/15 CWT/ in the MLU vehicle section the first truck pictured is a 1942 12 cab Ford 15CWT at the Oshawa Museum. That was the first truck I restored 25 years ago, it was stripped to the frame and rebuilt, but then I didn't have the time and energy to find someone who could make the thing run right.

Having done several projects since then I have a better equipped shop and should have improved skills for this one. Being a Chev it should not have the distributor and fueling issues of the Ford and be a very drivable vehicle. Very much like my 13 cab. As ugly and cramped a drivers area that the 12 cab has I couldn't resist wanting another 12, I guess because that was it was my first truck.

I was told the dog house was taken away and that is some thing that is hard to replace, so I will keep that in mind that you have it.

As too the cargo box, I really don't know what to expect till I see it, but you don't make it sound very encouraging. I was also told the tail gate is missing . Time will tell what I need and I may well need to join in on the box fabrication purchase.

The recovery is all set up and goes today. Stewart Loy ( Mr goes any where any time ) has volunteered his sevices and I will get some pictures of the adventure. Unfortunately Toronto doesn't get out of bed before noon on sunday, so it will be late in the day before I get back home.

Default 12 cab chev

The truck is home and the day went very well with no snags or hold ups. All four wheels turned and there was no brush or trees to remove, just back the trailor up hook up the winch cable and pull it on. Once again a thank you to Stewart for moving the truck home for me.

Bob, you are right, put me on the list for a new box. The old one is rubbish and not worth trying too rebuild. The old saying is "there is no prize for being last", I'm not convinced that this truck was the prize for being first. It needs a LOT of parts and work, it definitely looks better in pictures than in person. I think that the cab is rebuildable and will be easy to refurbish. The lights and many other fitments are gone and will require some scrounging to locate and replace.

This is going to take time just too get everything I need collected and a good work ethic once I get started. The older cab trucks aren't for the feint of heart, are they.

Here are a few pictures.
