1953 m38a1 cfr

[Casey B]

Hi Chris
Been away and have now just seen the thread. have to agree with the others there are better finds out there than the work that you'll have to do on that one...unless you like shackling yourself to a huge lump of steel and working endlessly towards the light at the end of the tunnel...?
My 53 M38A1 shows the original everything and never left British Columbia. It was used in Chilliwack and got some use out of the BCR's that's all I know or can find out.

The CFR is 53-32490
date manufactured is 2-2-53
by the Ford motor co. of Canada
serial number is F-200512
It was surplused in 2-14-1976 hence her name Valentine.

So there is a start for you.

You may have to consider coming out our way to find one that is workable and by our way yeah I mean west but that's only Manitoba! Right Rob?
Good luck Casey
