'41 Ford 8cwt in Drumheller

[Tom Hall]

OK, here's the long, sad story....
I found this last year on a trip to the Royal Tyrell; I don't know much about CMP's, but as we entered town I spotted the bed & bows from a distance and it was unmistakable, so I spent the rest of the day hiking the badlands looking at dinosaurs with the family and hoping SWMBO would let me check it out upon leaving. She grudgingly let me pull in to the yard at dusk and it was worth it: a '41 (d.o.d. 11-11-41) Ford 4X2 truck; I think 15cwt no. 12 cab? I thought 8cwt last year, but it has a large cargo bed. It appears to have original markings and teenagers have not yet stolen the "V8" emblem. I've had a couple of vehicles stolen before I could move them to the ranch so I'm ultra-sensitive to nice stuff getting trashed. Maybe Canada's not so bad in that department.
Anyway, I HAD to have this truck; I tracked down the owner and hoped to strike a long-distance deal, but farming has dealt me another bad hand this year, so if you're in the Calgary or Edmonton area I told him I'd post here so it can hopefully be saved from becoming a firewood hauler. Last time I talked to him he said he'd been meaning to sell.
I only have video & not sure if I can do a video still on my PC, but it's a nice truck. Maybe if someone picks it up and keeps it for a while, I'll hit it big & you can double your money on me...!

Cheers!
