Ford CMP muffler
Who can help me source a replacement of the muffler as fitted to Ford CMP trucks?
The original was a one-piece "muffler and inlet pipe assembly" (*C01YF 5230A). As I am only looking to replace the muffler, I do not need an exact copy as a replacement, basic dimensions of the Ford muffler are welcome so I can source one which comes close. Or does anyone know of an off-the-shelf muffler which fits? I once heard a Volvo 240 muffler is about the right size. Some pictures of how/where a muffler would be fitted originally are welcome, too. Thanks in advance! Hanno

Ford CMP muffler position and info
Hello Hanno,
Attached are two photos of an original muffler as installed on a Ford Ambulance at the Bandiana Army Museum in Australia. It shows the front end of the muffler very close to being in line with the rear step plate bracket. The third photo is of an original rear bracket on my F15A. With my generic muffler installed, which is the same length as an original, the position is very close to the museum example. To prevent confusion from the photo, my tailpipe has an adaptor which mates the 1-5/8" tailpipe to the 2" outlet of the muffler. When installed, the adaptor fits inside the outlet and the smaller end goes into the bracket. The pipe was left a bit longer for fitting. Something which is sometimes overlooked, which I have inadvertently done, when shopping for replacement mufflers is the position of the inlet and outlet relative to each other. My replacement one has the inlet and outlet 180 degrees apart. The museum example shows the inlet at the 6 o'clock position when viewed from that end and the outlet at the 3 o'clock position when viewed from that end (90 degrees apart). I intend to juggle my exhaust pipe a bit to ensure it hangs properly but it would have been nice to have it all line up from the start. Hope this is of some help in locating it on the truck and sourcing a correct one. Cheers

Hanno,
I have contact details for a company in USA that can make an exact copy of original muffler. Just haven't found where I stored their details. May have posted their name onmy resto thread. Still looking!

Certainly of help as I was wondering about the offset for the in- and outlet pipes. Can you confirm the measurements listed by Tony W.: 6" diameter, 18" length, 2" inlet and 1-5/8" outlet pipes? Thanks, Hanno
