Here is a listing for a nice solid looking Ford cab 11, and priced right as well at 1K.

Located in Biggar Saskatchewan, just a short trip from Saskatoon. Just look for the sign outside of town: New York is big, but this is Biggar.

If it was not so far........ price is reasonable and looks fairly complete.

I see it includes a spare piston !!!!!!!

Early model with no air vents, no roof hatch, ........wonder it the rear pintle set up is still there?

Hopes someone gets it from MLU out West.

Cheers

I know Neil Yeo is interested in such a truck, but his plans are not pure. He was wanting to modify a CMP. This is too nice a project for that kind of fate, but I am sure he will see this post tonight.

I would save it, but as it stands I have more vehicles than a guy should have.

The piston is likely from a Chev. Around these parts, Fords eat Chevs. Much like chicken bones, chev pistons are not edible.

Just so Gord can give him a good dressing up!!!!!

Can't trust his Dad either. Gord has exported trucks from the West without applying for the necessary export approval from Prairie Command. Mind you, such approval is almost never given, but you still have to follow the rules.

Rob Love says we have too much money to spend in Ontario, I can see his point. All those beautiful rust free trucks sat around every where in the west and nobody out there wants them. But, if some one from east of Kenora even breaths on one all Hell breaks loose.

Neil has been corrupted by hanging out at the Artillery Museum, some very unsavoury influences there. That FORD is just what he wants for his project and having Manitoba plates on his truck will make him look local.

Neil, go for it. Even if, it is a Ford.

Neil,

First of all, congrats on buying this truck

I seem to recall we have seen this F8 on this forum before.....

If you are looking for an alternative there is a Western Command member that has an 800 weight truck that he took a 15" trailer rim he had and cut out the center and bolted the combat rim into it and I believe he said he gave it a couple tack welds on the inside and is running 31x10.50x15 radial tires on his and it does not look too bad and works good until you find the right ones.

Nice catch Neil!

On the subject of tyres, don't forget the 9.00x13 tyres thread.

I think the supply of 9.00x13 tyres hasn't been as good as today, for a long time. A few years ago there was no supply of new tyres at all, nowadays, there is a choice of at least 4; MRF, Trelleborg, BKT and Alliance. However, I think all are marketed as farm tyres. I think Jim fitted the MRF or Trelleborg tyres on his 8cwt(?). Dave was looking at second hand aircraft tyres, I think (?)
