Where can I find parts like a rad cap and the part that the cap attached to on the rad? My original rad where the cap screws on is rusted out.

Inst panel glass?


Its a long list I'm afraid, Some photos attached. Any help on sourcing parts would be fantastic.

Hi Bob..
Welcome to the forum..Brad Mills in Truro(I believe that he is a Nissan Dealer in Truro) knows all about CMP vehicles..That is what you have,,Canadian Military Pattern vehicle.
Get your self some manuals..a copy of the Maintenance and Parts manuals are a must..
Grant Bowker makes great reprints..he is on this forum..
and reasonable..

Here are the manuals you need..

#3A 300+ pages GM Service Bulletins Updates for MB-C2(May-November 1943).. ***These bulletins were issued to the field maintenance shops for upgrades to the CMP vehicles.. Many proceedures in the bulletins and additions did not make the maintenance manuals..
