Default Same truck?

Hi Richard:

I took another look at the photos you posted. The front view is defintely a Cab 11 or 12 FAT and the back view just doesn't look like the same truck. I'm going to blow the photos up and get back to you.

Mike

Default Correct FAT3 front picture

Gunner Mike,

Thanks for your comments and words of advice. As long as the kitchen gets redone, a far more expensive hobby than messing around with CMP trucks, I'm in the good.

My apologies, I sent you the wrong frontal picture. Attached is the correct front picture.

I have a dry barn here that I can store the shells. I'd hate to see them go to the scrap yard so I'm probably going to do this for charity.

I'll keep you guys posted.

Default Curiouser and curiouser!

Hmm, now I have to get into my Gregg books tonight 'cause the FAT3 front is a Chev cab 11 or 12!

I would be interested in discussing the acquisition of the lot with you if you're interested.

Mike

Default FAT3 Info

Gunner Mike,

If you discover something, let me know. I'll find out about the shell salvage situation at the end of the week. Send me a PM and we can discuss.

Regards, Richard

The data plates can't originally be from any of the pictured vehicles. The vehicles are all 11 or 12 cabs and the FAT3 data plate says it's a Cab 13. They're definitely worth saving anyway. Probably more so because they're Cab 11 or 12.

Default Mismatched data plates

Hi Dave:

I suspect you've hit the nail on the head WRT the data plates.

Mike

Default Whatizit???

The first one with the square vents is a Ford cab 12...... Fat or diet...

The second one is a Chev.... round air vents...... too much sheet metal is missing to tell if it is a cab 11 or cab 12.....

Stew Robertson is also working or restoring a Fat cab 12 and has the basis for a cab 13 arty as well...... he may have acquired other bits and pieces since starting his project.

Good luck on the recovery.

Bob

Default Mystery Solved

Guys,

Sorry for causing you all to pull your hair out. I went back into my picture archives and re-ran the order in which the photos were shot. Attached is the upper cab of the FAT3 that the data plates came from. It is definitely a Cab 13. So the tally would be a FAT Cab 13, 2 Cab 11 or 12 FATs and the mystery dump truck.

Thanks again for all of the info. I'll keep you posted on the progress.
Regards, Richard
