New to the group M-220 CDN

Hi All, I found this truck at a scrap yard just outside of Camp Borden ON. It is in pretty good shape. All I wanted was the box, but the truck is so good, I think I need to fix it up and get it running. I already have a M-152, so I guess I am now a collector.

Welcome to SS and the Early Deuce dream world.

Is that a jack-stand under the front axle? Was it off the ground? What a find! It looks very complete, a future museum piece. How's the steering wheel, roof, hood? It's got west coast mirrors, a ladder, rare box......... it is Christmas!

Haven't been this excited since I bought mine. Thanks for sharing it, beautiful.
You're in the heart of G-749 parts and knowledge country which will help.

More pics please.

Plowboy. I agree, Christmas came early. These pic were taken when I first got her home. The jack stand was because the tire on that side was flat. I have since replace the front rims and rubber with two NOS units (were they came from is for a PM some time). Cab, steering wheel and roof are good. The hood sucked but I found a new one in Georgetown. It is out getting blasted and primed and I will put it on in the spring. The engine is clean. It has just over 10,000 miles and we believe that to be true. It was running when it was parked (3 years ago) and my motor guy thinks there should be no trouble getting it going. I had never seen one with a side door. According to an expert in CDN vehicles, this is the rare M-220 Sigs Box. Side door, catwalk on roof, antenna box built in on drivers side front. The plan was to pull the box off and use it as an electrics shop for my business but after finding these things out I have decided to keep it intact and restore as much as I can. Will try to post more pics when I can.

I saw the original post on MLU. Now we need more photos.

We need more pictures of the interior. This is a rare one. This would be an interesting restoration.

 

[dano152]

I have cleaned up the interior a bit so I can use it this winter

I am going to be up in the Borden/Wasaga beach area for the holidays. Which town was the yard and was there anything else " green " up there?

 

[dano152]

There are a few old 135 hulks, an M-152 I pull parts off of and a deuce tanker (which he dosent want to sell but I will post some pics any way). He isn' around much in the winter but I will see if he is going to be around.

Here are a couple of more door shots from my sigs van. Also, I found the cover for the heater and installed the new tires and rims on the front axel.
