O ok my bad! lol I just really like it

OK OK ........... lets hope we can keep it a secret

here you go SS ...... Its a 1942 Ford CMP F15A 15CWT truck Canadian military truck ....... she weighs in at almost 8,000 lbs empty, powered by a flathead V8 engine, 2/4 whdrive, 4 speede trans, I know its no multifuel deuce but she is different and different is good somethimes especially with a 67year old MV.

It has a M135 CDN deuce bed shortened 4' on it, so going to put M35 shortened wood cargo racks on it, wood bows which Ive already secured all I need now is a tarp now but due to its vintage need canvas.

I think a M105 cover wil work also, so open to options, If I end up with a Deuce cover Ill have to cut it down, I also hope to shorten the box by another foot between it and the cab to install a spare tire carrier and tool box off a M818 which Ive also secured.

Its a neat old truck and finally was offered for sale to me so Im the new caretaker of her now.

enjoy , let me know your thoughts , If I had photoshop Id set all the stuff on there to see what it would look like but no such luck, so will have to wait till I collect all the stuff next month.

As you can see when looking at the pic what Im after reuben is right, thanks to him I have my bows , thanks Reub !

Your welcome Buddy! Let me know if there is anything else you need.

I'm in the Portland area, but don't have any of the parts you need.

If you're coming down to Portland, may I recommend seeing if Idaho Motor Pool can help you out with your needs? They are not *that* far from Portland (400 miles up I-84) and they do carry a bunch of piece-parts.

If you're in the area and want to swing by for a beer and to talk trucks, let me know. I can't offer much more than good conversation and a beer or two though.
