Windscreen APT
Thanks for the tip!
A few pics: Ford axle is now gone, I just changed it this week end, confirming its the late series style narrow weapons carrier "APT" cargo box, you can see width is very close to the axle width. Rust repairs needed in the right front corner box. Next plan is to get the brakes finished so its drivable. Walde Last edited by Walde Libera; 03-08-11 at 00:17. Reason: spelling

APT update
Spent a bit of time on the front end, straightened the front frame rail ends, right one was down about an inch. Tried heating it with the rose bud but success was limited. Finally used my back hoe by lifting the truck on the one frame rail chained together with the left frame rail and dropping it. The trick was to stop just before hits the ground, it's all in the timing! Took reference measurements frequently. It worked out quite nicely. Next job is the front axle and finish the brakes. Special thanks to John Bizal at Midwest military for getting the bumper ends to me so quickly!
Cheers Walde in BC

Looking good, I was very tempted on buying it but I have too many projects as it is.

Apt
I remember when my truck was that nice and clean , then I did the 92' Alcan trip , 8200 miles in 5 weeks, as for parts for these I still have waterproof distributor and spark plug housings, engine is a T236, this is the bigger block, longer than the US motor, different hood, box , canvas, all are 12 volt, all have winches, lifting rings that fit over wheel, all were produced in 1945 , total of 6500 units , I saw some as late as Oct. 45, look for the C broad arrow on the frame and cowl to floor support angle, hope this helps,
