Default A suggestion....

... you might consider getting a repro parts manual, one for Ford and one for Chevrolet, so you can accurately identify the various parts from the box description and parts number.

Good luck.

Some seriously great finds Chris just shows what is still out there waiting to be unearthed.

I think you may be the most popular man in England for a while...at least in the Blitz/CMP world anyway!

In the same yard as thes 3, there are about 20 F15a but they are in pretty poor condition! The F15s are probably not worth shipping but these gun tractors must be fairly scarce!
Chris,

Awesome find. As mentioned by Keith, the gun tractor is the late type....very rare about anywhere apart from South America . All previous model FATs had the beetle back, this one has the open rear, very much like the late Morris Commercial Gun tractors.
Any F60T tractors and trailers? I remember there is thread on MLU with pics of a yard in South America, which I think might be one and the same. I am sure there is an interest in parts from several here in the forum.


Please tell me when you have found that box with mirrors! I could sure use a set or two. Maybe also headlights, blackout and dash switches if you decide to sell.


Alex

Wow what an amazing story! I look forward to hearing more.
Ferret, you need to catalog this stuff and get a web site together.
I am blown away.
