Hallo Robert,

Dirk,

Thanks for posting that picture taken at the OMVA show in 2001. I wish you and Stefan could be here this year with some of your fleet.

All the vehicles shown are from the collection of the Ontario Regiment Museum (Ferret Club) which hosts the annual OMVA show.

Contrary to what I told Keith Webb in a posting recently, there are CMP Fords to be found in Oshawa. The two 15 cwts pictured are both Fords, very nice examples of an 11 cab and a 12 cab.

Brian and all,

Did the 12 Cab Ford in the picture used to be yellow in color? The Ferret club had a yellow one with black fenders a number of years ago. I did see it once at a home of one of the members north of Oshawa on Simcoe street. I wondered if it had been an air force truck at some point? I'm curious as to if this is the same truck I saw probably 15 years ago.

I also meant to ask if the 12 cab is the same truck in Geoff's softskin page? Thanks.

Won't be making it this year, too much stuff to do these days with me gone during the week. Hope the lads have fun and the weather holds!
