I recall seeing one heading for Jack's when I was in Moose Jaw in the early 90s. It came out of a huge field of vehicles located near ChurchBridge SK.
The body was actually owned by Don Overs of MJ. Jack had called around looking for an artillery tractor body, and Don mentioned he had one he had never seen out at that yard. Jack called him back later and said he had a look at it, and it was basically scrap, and paid appropriately for it. But when the body showed up in Moose Jaw (Jack was having an 8cwt picked up as well if I remember correctly) the FAT body was obviously much better than scrap. It even still had the padlocks hanging on the bin doors. Don felt like he might have been taken a little on the "scrap" designation.
