Heads Up: CMP chevrolet pilot model truck for sale in Saskatchewan

[rob love]

Jordan sent me the link to this one, although I have seen photos of the truck before. https://www.kijiji.ca/v-classic-cars...uck/1575644277

It is one of the 1938 Chev pilot trucks. It appears to have a Ben Hur trailer box tossed on the back, as the wooden box will have rotted away. But as a Saskatchewan truck, it should have very little rust.

A surplus dealer found one of these Chevrolet Pilot Model 15 Cwt and I convinced the Canadian War Museum to purchase it due to its significance to Canadian military history.

Very significant vehicle.

The design was obviously rejected because, although they gave it a good shot, it did not meet the British ugly vehicle test sufficiently.

Too funny, although clearly true. We Canadians made up for it with the 13 cab I'm sure you'll agree.

Second failure point: Too much leg room!

I agree. At 6’5” I can’t get in an 11 or 12 cab. I might be able to drive this one.
