Fun with flathead V8s

3 CMPs, some wet grass = Sunday afternoon fun.
An entertaining afternoon with three trucks, in virtually 'as found' condition by Tony. They had been sitting for many years, and with a little TLC he has brought them back to life. These are Canadian Military Pattern, known here as 'Blitz' trucks, fitted with flathead Ford V8 engines. The first, a Ford F60S, the second was a Ford No8 gun tractor and the third a Ford F60L. Restoration will come later. It took 2 days to unseize the rust filled gearbox of the gun tractor and you can hear the sound it makes. Make sure you watch to the final hard hitting scene.

How can you not love really old vehicles? Especially when People get them back into running condition! I'm just jealous 'cuz I want to try one out!!!!

I love the sound those old flatheads make and it never ceases to amaze me that this old equipment is still driveable in its present state; Planned obsolescence and all that, anything from now a days would not even come close in durability!

Okay they aren’t that reliable. Three mains is terrible for longevity just as long as they don’t reach too much rpm. The only reason it’s durable is because it doesn’t have enough power to hurt itself.

TocKa: These trucks were built to take the rigors of use during the war and being dropped using parachutes. I have seen these being used regularly in India till the 1990s, when the Government made a rule that all commercial vehicles more than 20 years old had to be taken off the roads. In an accident in the mid 1980s that I had I read about in the newspapers, one of these fell off a bridge into a river and sank about 50 feet deep. It was retrieved, the engine was cleaned and it started working again.

Hi Mike. These are all running 6 volt systems. Tony has become an expert at making them work just as well as 12. The key is not to have any dirty contact along the system.

@dennisjohnstone4739
@dennisjohnstone4739 Год назад
In Australia cab over trucks exist because of length regulations, particularly when pulling B Doubles. However conventional bonnet edges trucks are more commonly used for road trains as length regulations are more accommodating this type of truck. It's true about short wheelbase cabinets having a rough ride,particularly the Kenworth product compared to European models that generally ride better but are usually heavier affecting the payload capacity.

An interesting factoid about the flathead Ford V8...it was the one engine that variations of which were manufactured in and used by almost all of the warring countries in WWII - by the U.S, Canada, Australia, India Britain, France, the Soviet Union, as well as Germany and Japan!

+gus toreno Join the MJCQ here in Queensland and they come up from time to time. The high quality glossy magazine they put out always has a great selection of restored and unrestored trucks of various makes for sale. Best I reckon to get one already done. You'll never get back what you put into these jiggers.

Hi Keith, neat video. I have just acquired one of these trucks (F60 I think, has twin tanks and LWB). It has been sitting for a long time and had a stuck engine which I have freed over the last couple of months. Took it for a drive today, went really well forwards but couldn't find reverse, and they're pretty heavy to push. how to you find reverse gear? has it got something to do with the rod on the side? I'm only 18, and am new to working on these old trucks...
@oldcmp
@oldcmp 10 лет назад
Hi Blair, excellent choice. The F60L and F60s had different wheelbase, with the L being the longer one with the two piece tail shaft. To get reverse gear there is a latch on the left of the gearshift which you lift then move the lever towards yourself and back. Feel free to give me an email at oldcmp (dot) net @gmail(dot) com. Where are you located?

Do you run them on 6 volt or 12. Mine is 6 but it'll only start on a 12 volt battery so I don't like running it. 6 volt only winds over really slow any ideas
@joemccormick6790
@joemccormick6790 7 лет назад
Make sure all connections including ground (earth) connections are clean and tight, however 12 volts wont hurt a 6 volt starter, I have a 6v starter in my 51 M37 flathead 6 that is working fine on 12 volts!

That is one way to look at it, another is if he had not rescued them they would be sent to China and made into rubbish cars. They are all now in a dry shed and saved for restoration. That is a win for history.
