Hi Derk,

Welcome to this forum!

Is this the type of Ambulance you are restoring?

Regards,
Hanno

Default Ford ambulance

Hi George,
If the lights were for my Mk 1 carrier then they worked out great.My carrier turned out well with most of the equipment now there with a few pieces left to find but then there never really complete are they? My energy is now on this Ford C.M.P. that I brought home for my Ambulance body.
I was very lucky to find such a complete C.M.P. that still runs.The door has Markings; RCASCTC (Royal Canadian army service corp training centre?)and I believe 64-?. There was a flat bed on the truck with an army Data plate 1964 which I dropped off in Rob Love's yard(thank's Rob).
I will borrow a camera and take some pictures and post them in the future.

Hi Hanno,
The picture of the ambulance you show looks like a 3 ton but mine has the spare tire carrier between the cab and box .Nice picture.The Ford 30 cwt ambulance did not have a spare tire carrier as it was a 134'' wheel base.

Thanks for the help!
Derk.

Default Ford serial number

Hi Dirk,

As far as the registration you can use the engine number from your Ford. Ford Motor Co. used the engine number for registrations for many years.

Default Publications listed on the FAT data plate

Without being in the same location as the manuals to check it, I'm a little surprised to see the 197 spare parts list listed on a vehicle made in 1943.

The maintenance manual MB-B is a new one to me, has anyone got information on it? Another way of describing one of the MB-C1 or MB-C2? Codespeak for the earlier combined operator's and maintainer's book?

Default data plates

The data plates were on a gun tractor I bought years ago and I am the one that took them off the vehicle before stripping it of all it's useful parts and scrapping the rest. Derk.
