1943 Ford Fire Truck

[T.J.]

Well here goes nothing. I'm just new at this computer stuff.

The story goes that this truck originally came from out west,possibly a R.C.A.F. base... Manitoba way ( MD 10 ), it was then supplused to the department of veterans affairs where it was given to Westminster Hospital in London Ontario, which was a Veterans hospital. That's the short story. My conection is that my Dad who was killed when I was 13 was Fire Chief when it came to Westminster Hospital. The Data plate on the fire wall has a Chassis number, a Chassis Serial number, a Engine number, a Cab number 21, a ? CD 1803 number and a Built May 29/43 number. There are two Data Plates one on the drivers door and one on the radiator cowl which read Built By C-M-T-S Ottawa, Ref-Dwg....CMT-52. I'm still looking a round to see if there are any more data plates. I sure appreciate any help you ladds might be. Thanks T.J.
