Hi Les, is this not a Holmes twin boom that you put on the forum? Also I do not see the spare wheel.
As a modeller I rebuild trucks and wreckers from: http://www.frituurzorro.nl our photobooks of re-used WWll soft-skin vehicles |

F30 with wood body and various cab
Hello
I am very interessed by the kind of body used by the first series of FORD F30. Larry HAYWARD shows a FORD CANADA F30 with a cab number 11 and a body made of wood with a rounded rear wheels arch and expects that this body was build in SOUTHAMPTON. On an other reply , HANNO SPOELSTRA shows and other FORD F30 with the same body but with a cab number 12. Do you think that FORD with cab number 12 owns the same body when sorting out the factory.? In an other domain , I would like to know the denomination of the body made of steel also with rounded rear wheels arche that is in the book "BLUE PRINT FOR VICTORY. Thanks for any answer |

Ford F30
Serge,
Here is another photo of the same steel body on a later CMP 12 Cab, which was definitely produced in Canada. However the origin of the wooden bodies on the F30 I photographed is harder to establish; it may be British and also as Hanno has already suggested that the vehicle may have been shipped to the Middle East, then the rear body could have been built locally in Egypt.

Where is it now? 1940 CGT Cab 12 of R.Belsey of Storrington
I thought I would start a new thread as there has to be many vehicles out there like this one.
Last Wednesday I picked up a copy of British 'Veteran and Vintage Magazine' Volume 17 Number 10 dated June 1973. Inside the is a report on the Historic Commercial Vehicle Club's "London to Brighton" run held on the 6th May 1973. This 1940 Chev Cab 12 quad was entered by Mr R.Belsey of Storrington and it is stated to have a body by the Western Steel Corp. Winnipeg. (Listed as an FAT1 in the mag.) So, where is it now? Is it still in existence? Regards Rick.

As far as I know it is a No. 3C1 body. There's one in Holland and it's body is labelled "type 10 foot QMG No. 3C1". The one pictured below survives in storage in Norway; another one survives in Belgium. HTH, Hanno

Marien then fully restored it, and later sold his HUP with some other CMP trucks to the Canadian War Museum.

Back in the 1970's and 1980's there were dozens and dozens of CMP's and carriers owned by dozens of people here in Canada. There are relatively few restored and running today. What happened to them all? I fear the worst.

only 1 left
Hi Hanno,
The only CMP left in Mel's collection is his very rare 12 cab Chev 15 cwt water truck which he got directly from its post war service in a rural fire department. It has suffered from outdoor storage and is ready for another restoration. Brian

Thank you Hanno she's very sound, just a little rust we will sort.
I'm new to this social media stuff, If I post on FB is that different to here on the web? For instance I've just posted a wanted post on here but will that show up on FB? Cheers, Paul

MLU Forum has been around for 20+ years, and although we are very social on here ( ), this is not a social media app like FaceBook, Instagram, Twitter, WHY... I did open an account on FB (https://www.facebook.com/groups/MapleLeafUpForum/) a couple of years ago as someone else wanted to highjack MLU on there and mimick what we are doing here. But this internet forum and the MLU FB group are two separate things. One can post on both media, or choose to stick on either one as he/she likes. Hope this helps, Hanno

CMP early steel body type
Guys,
I'm not sure if I added this photo to this site before but I know JPW 931 it is supposedly alive and well in Suffolk but I am not sure who owns it. From the little I know it has an early steel body, which with a No12 Cab dates it to Canadian production circa 1941. I'd be interested in details of the body type and when it was produced and the ultimate destination of such vehicles? Although I have attached a photo of it in use in the Sicily & Italian Campaign, it is still quite a rare vehicle in WW2 photos and of course now in the UK. Does the L number tell anything or is it made up? Any info on its history greatly received. Lastly on the WW2 vehicle in the B&W photo, what is it that appears slightly above the front wheel and behind the front fender that is not present on JPW931?

Hopefully someone must know who owns it? It may be it is in Suffolk?

20-25 years ago I could have listed dozens of CMP projects I knew about. Next to none of them ever resulted in a restored, road-worthy truck. Here (unlike Europe) it seems to be the same few restorers with the same few trucks and not a lot of projects on the go.
Depressing. And where did all those garage queens end up? I fear the worst. |

Thanks Bruce.
I guess many a CMP has gone to the scrap heap after the deceased owners relatives, got a value off the web using we buy any car sites and took the $50 that was offered!

I have need to jump in here because I think Bruce's comments are correct..there is a very small (but enthusiastic) group of collectors in Canada but it costs far more to restore a vehicle than to simply purchase one. At this moment I am aware of a collection of 20+ vehicles that have been sitting for 30 years rusting because no body wanted to pay the asking price for them. The lot is mostly 15 cwt Ford 13 cabs, a couple of 3 tonners and a FAT chassis. They are probably worth $5-600 each for scrap and in the absence of any buyers that is probably where they will end up.
