I am somewhat familiar with this truck. The gentleman that owned it, also had a 1942 Ford F15A with a plow on it. His farm house had quite a long driveway and got, from what I understood, a tremendous amount of drifting snow in the winter months. Hence the need for a blower of this magnitude. If my recollection is correct he purchased the truck in Montreal. The truck is heavily modified and typical of many custom applications done to CMPs. I believe the blower is / was powered by a 6 cyl GMC engine. There was a huge piece of concrete on the rear for traction the last time I saw it which has since been removed. This is a late model Ford (1944-1945).
