'41 Ford 8cwt in Drumheller
Here's a hopeful lead for those of you around Calgary or Edmonton.
It's a '41 (d.o.d. 11-11-41) Ford 8cwt 4X2 truck; I'm ashamed to say that I've lost the contact info for the owner--I haven't talked to him in almost a year, but I've concluded there's no way (at least now) I can afford to buy it & ship to California. I hope I impressed on him how nice the truck is so he doesn't sell it to a torch-happy hot-rod teenager or firewood hauler...
Anyway, Drumheller is a small enough town that it should be easy to spot, in the southeast part of town a couple hundred feet north of the main drag (Railway Ave?) I spotted its top bows sticking up when we pulled into Drumheller to visit the Royal Tyrell and made a mental to beg my wife to check it out as we left town, and it was about the nicest unrestored truck I've ever seen; in Southern California someone would have stolen the "Ford" and "V8" emblems right off the cab--hopefully the teens in Drumheller have better manners. It's only missing the tailgate. Markings: left fender--white "10" on yellow square, right fender "P" on green square
I promised him I would try to post some video grabs of it but my video went belly up. He assumed I wanted a finder's fee, but I (stupidly) said I just wanted to get it into the hands of a "loving home". If I win the lottery I'll beg to get again.
Anyone seen this truck, or bought it already?
