Did you use an available set of plans or by following photos?

Dus I was lucky enough 2 years ago to be able to visit a yard an hours drive from where I lived which had the remains of well over 200 WW2 military vehicles most of which were CMP's of various body styles. I was able to take (over 4 visits) measurements and photos of most of the details of both cab 11, 12 & 13 body types as well as a few original Australian rear bodies.

A lot of the better vehicles sold but over 100 went through the crushers for scrap.

this picture shows the only #11 cab in the yard (2nd from left) next to a couple of 13 cabs and then 12 cab Fords. 12 cab and 11 cab are the same except for the bonnet area (hood area)



This picture shows a line up of 'D' series Dodge trucks with Internationals in the background. I am slowly but surely scratch building one of these as well



Photos copywrite to C R Hutchings.

Cheers
Cliff

Cheers
