A friend just acquired a 1944 Ford Bomb Service Truck. He says it is a MKII
Model II GTB
It has a 254 Cubic Inch flathead six cylinder engine.
He needs supply sources for it. I think his first needs are brake parts.
Can someone, anyone, help him out with a source or give any kind of
interchange info?
Thanks,
Sonny
