Same hubs on my late Ford. Also same stirrup steps
 In fact, is that a three position transfer box lever? Starting to wonder if we've got an F22 here? Can you spot where the battery box is? Last edited by Lauren Child; 20-08-16 at 23:35.

Sling caps- Ford CMP
Quote:
I think those hub caps are called sling caps and were fitted to Ford CMP's also. I had a Ford F15A parts truck with them fitted. I thought they were used to attach wire slings for loading the vehicles onto a ship but I have heard of other uses for them. Perhaps another person can confirm or shed some light on their actual purpose. Cheers,

loading trucks onto ships- lifting from axles
Yesterday I thought it would be easy to find a photo of a CMP truck being loaded/unloaded from a WW2 merchant ship using the sling caps as I mentioned in above post. Being an old merchant mariner that would be right up my alley.
Well, a couple hours spent searching the net and the closest I could find was this one of an Australian Army ACCO being unloaded from HMAS Jeparit at Vung Tau during the Vietnam War. Although not a CMP it at least shows how it is done with the special hub caps. It is being handled as I mentioned by lifting from the axles with the sling caps on the wheel hubs to hold the wire rope slings on. The spreaders prevent damage to the body and cab. Does anyone have a photo of a CMP being loaded or unloaded from a vessel by this method during WW2? Would be great to see one. Cheers,

Lifting rings on CMP wheels only came into use with late model CMP's prob 1944/45 manufacture. Earlier one's did not have them.
