Default CMP?

Hi.

That is the cab ( don't know what's under the snow) of a 1950's GMC M135/M211 6x6 21/2 ton truck.

Yeah, that looks like a Deuce-and-a-half. Old girl, piece of crap... I've had one spinning all wheels in two inches of snow, on the flat. CMP 3-tonners were better than that...

Stuart,

Did you ever get a famous Tuktoyuktuk University T-Shirt? If you are up there and see one, I need a new one...

Thanks,

If I end up back in Inuvik during the summer, I will take more pictures. One of my favourite vehicles in Inuvik was a Military snow plow, left over from the Alaska Highway time period. It was huge..... It had massive diesel powered snow blowers mounted on the front. It was being used to maintain the "ice road" from Inuvik, NWT up to Tuktoyuktuk on the Beaufort Sea.

Lots of unusual vehicles up there, such as this Bombardier.
Bruce Parker, of this Forum, spent some 3 years in Iqaluit.

He took some pictures, and posted them here, of lots of CMPs just dumped into the tundra.

Perhaps if you search variously, you'll find the pics.

Default Message for Rob Clarke......

.... no way... I am not driving up there to do a recovery......


Stuart...... how big are your duffle bags....???


Ever think of the possibility of having local boys take off some of the rarer parts.....smaller parts.... to ship back South...??

Could be a profitable project... might even qualify for Federal subsidies..... think of smaller are to come by parts.... probably not heavily rusted..... even a survey of available serial numbers for David Haywards data base.....


Just dreaming....


Bob

Let's see: New Brunswick and now NWT are off limits? That only leaves us 2.9 million square miles. Kinda limits us, don't cha think...

What happened to the open-mindedness that you guys who grew up in the 60's tout as your claim to fame? There will be remedial smoke inhalations at the barn this weekend.

The DEW line folks used Sno-Cats too, so both my interests in one.....
