2 - CMP's in Enderby, B.C.
Not knowing anything about CMP's (I like my GPW better) I have never bothered to look for them until now.
Lats week I was doing a delivery to a saw mill & as i drove in I scanned the acres of old trucks the guy has sitting in the bush. Not far from the road I spotted 2 CMP's. Heres some pictures I took with my cell phone camera. He is away for the winter, but when he gets back I will inquire as to if he will sell them. On a side note: Later I found out that another of our drivers bought a 1950's US Army bus from him a few years ago. It had been at the base in Yakima & was for exac. in case of a nucular attack. It only had 13,000 miles on it. Since our driver bought it , he has converted it into a motor home. I also remember seeing a complete CMP on the west side of Hwy 97 in Westwold? First truck. both doors are there as well as the drivers seat frame. Gauges & data plates are missing Flat Head V-8 & all running gear still there & complete has a flat deck on it but has very min rust Has some flat bar welded from the fenders to roof (bush/log gaurds) Last licensed in 1965  Second truck Flat head V-8 & running gear all there both seat frames all data plates all gauges missing pass door , but it may be in the pile of junk around it. flat deck

Your description sounds interesting but PhotoBucket seems to have swallowed your photos, I hope you can still access them to try posting them direct to the forum rather than as links.

Restorable

I was making an obscure reference to the relative number of good CMPs which are still being discovered here compared with Canada... Actually they didn't look too bad but the amount of moss on the first one might mean a rust problem hiding there.

Restorable?
Probably, almost for sure if you want to go the 2 into 1 route. And I don't mean in the vein of I have an original bolt, let's work out from there and call it a restoration rather than a recreation.....
You may think we go into a lot of trouble fixing up trucks that the tinworm has gotten into, on the other hand we seem to have fewer nasty creatures waiting to take a nip of us. Which way do you want to lose?
