Hello Rick.
You may have to go overseas to find a KL these days. Years ago, Peter Ford found National Archive records that indicated only 5 were even allotted for use in Canada: Maritimes, Quebec, Ontario, Manitoba and Western Canada. The Manitoba one passed through my hands on it's way eventually to Rob. The Ontario one is still alive and well at Borden. The Quebec one was found by a collector around the time I ran across the one here in Winnipeg and I think the Maritime unit eventually turned up as well. That would leave the Western Canada one unaccounted for and Peter found information it may have spent time in Saskatchewan before moving farther west.
I suspect there was not as much concern about field repair welding here in Canada as there would have been for in theatre repairs in Europe during the war. Fantastic looking Truck when it's all back together and running, but Rob might verify they are very heavy when complete and brutal on gasoline.
