Default Reynolds selling

A friend and myself were at Reynolds last week.
We talked to the fellow who worked there.
All the 8 cwt went to Calgary (five). All the carriers went to Prince George.
Right now, the 15 cwt are for sale. While we were there, they were towing all the ones they were keeping away.
What was left was not pretty.
A lot rust, most with no bodies on the rear.
In the back field that is a Ford FGT. There is no rear body.
There is a 3 ton Chev CMP ambulance with the body roof caved in. If I can remember there were two more CMP's, one a cab 12 15 cwt with no body.
There were many US mv's, some in not too bad shape.
When you get close up to all these mv's, there is a lot of damage, rot and rust.
In all cases, you are looking at a total frame off restorations due to sitting out in the weather for so long.
You won't find any "gems".
We were told only the 15 cwt were for sale this summer.
The rest will go next year starting in the spring.
There is a mint 105mm aiportable howitzer, and in a previous photo, a 90 mm anti aircraft gun.
The best truck was a Maple Leaf aircraft refueller.
If I can figure out how, I will post the photos we took.
