Default So where is part 3.....

HI Clive

You leave us hanging by the skin of our teeth.... did the butler do it on not???


So in late October 1939..... the war has just started and a small contract for 50 more trucks from Ford is signed then amended for colour.... and said trucks did not reach the Canadian Army until early 1940.......

...but in previous readings, some from David Hayward, ( God I miss him at times likes this) actual production started on the Chev cab 11 late in March 1940 but all models actually counted/dated as April production...... and again thanks to David, who told me that the numbers of my cab 11 was on the line late May 1940...... and already had the new air vents incorporated in the assembly.....as on going improvements....and also has a Ford woven grill which may or may not have come from the factory... gives it more class!!! but no roof hatch.

They must have been burning the midnigth oil between early 1940 and April 1940.

Waiting impatiently for the next episodes and more details ....... such as shortage of front and rear axles for Fords..... and the very early dates for the cab 13 and how it fits with HUP "pilot" which is part cab 13 before the 13 were actually released.

Bob C

PS....Obviously the Senate was not involved and besides Duffy would not have fitted in a cab 11 anyways.
