Hi

Looking for Pat 13 CMPs can be like looking for the Holy Grail, or you may get luck and find some looking for a home.

Have you considered using canvas doors as used on some of the Australian CMPs as an replacement,  paint the truck sand color and get on to driving and enjoying.  Also as soon as you have the canvas doors on somebody is going to come up to you and say "I've got a couple doors for that kicking around the shop, want come get them"

There are some photos and information over on http://www.mapleleafup.net/forums/.

Strangely you may actually have more problems finding the hinges in usable condition.

Cheers Phil 

PS - CMPs have been part of the family for about 40 years, you can't have just one.  Once you have them restored then keeping all three of them running and happy is the issue.  If they all don't get driven regularly they get sulky and won't come out of the garage to play.

Thanks to the members of MLU for finding the information on Canvas Doors that I was thinking of.  Here is the Thread that includes photos of Canvas Doors http://www.mapleleafup.net/forums/showthread.php?t=12788

Keep us posted on your progress
