James, it sounds to me that it is most likely a 15cwt Ford and either a 11 or 12 cab. Does the windshield slope backwards or forwards? 15cwt trucks were equipped with 9.00-16 tires. The wheelbase (center of front axle to centre of rear axle) should be 101". The data plate if still attached can tell us more.
Yes there is a market for cmps although condition and completeness determines the value and by no means is it a fortune. Hope this helps.

Smile Glad you hooked up with MLU

Hi James

Glad you could hook-up with MLU about your uncle's truck. Did I understand from your e-mail that he has owned the truck for a long time? Some pictures would be of help in identification. Keep us posted on your progress. We all hope to see another truck discovered and restored.

Cheers Phil
