That Alberta truck is still there. He has two of them but the other one is disassembled. I'll be going by his place around Easter so I'll stop in and take some detailed photos.
I know of nine 8 cwts within about 100 miles of me. They are:
5 - C8 Cab 11 that had 1A bodies. (2 bodies survive)
1 - C8 Cab 11 with 1B body. (body survives)
2 - C8 Cab 12 with 1B bodies ( both bodies survive)
1 - F8 Cab 12 with 1B body. (body survives)
This C8 is close to home. It's in extraordinary condition but the owner won't part with it. He's even got a new set of tires stored away since the 1970s. He had a sprayer mounted on the back. The 1A body is long gone. Note the lack of cab vents.
