F15A west of Perth
I've talked with the owner of this truck. The sheet metal is excellent as it gets a new coat of red and yellow paint every few years. One oddity is that the rear axle has been replaced with a front one giving it 4 wheel hydaulic-assisted steering. When I spoke with him, it was not for sale and he wasn't much interested in those of us who would re-militarize (wordcheck on that last, please) old CMP's.
Another quest for those in south eastern Ontario is a 12 cab Chev 15 cwt in Prince Edward County...go south on Highway 49 from Highway 401 towards Picton. Immediately over the 'skyway' bridge turn right (west) and about 5 kms and you'll find it. Once again it receives regular coats of royal blue paint and is cosmetically perfect, except for the log lifting gear on the front and dual civy tires on the back axle. This guy would sell if you could provide him with another piece of machinery that could do what this thing does, which you can't short of many $$$$.
