CGT FAT Parts Hunting
  Heading east Oct.11-20, looking for Cab 13 side window frames, grill, logo, head light bucket (early version is smaller), tire carrier, 216 rocker cover rear filler assembly, map lite on dash. Anybody have any they can spare, trying complete my FAT restoration for next year? Picture taken July 2004, chassis completely rebuilt, decided on a 235 instead (original 216 engine was reusable but needed new valves and 2 babbited rods), I opted for full pressure lube and few more horses as this 3 ton will need all it can get. Most components were readily available like bearings, seals, hoses,u-joints. I also received a lot of advise from people who are also dedicated CMP'ers like Lorne Ertl, Gord Falk in Manitoba, Roy Welburne in Williams lake, Harry Moon, Jeff Davis, John Hawthorne, Pat Papworth (the local guys) as well as a few fellas back east Brian Asbury, Don Elliot, D. Weatherspoon. And we have Dirk in Holland and the Aussies. All the information is also documented and will be of tremendous value to anyone who decides to restore a true Canadian WW II vintage vehicle. They are very unique and should be preserved.
