Nasty End to a running C15 about to happen
Well I work in the film industry in Toronto...I am working on the biggest film ever shot here.
Well today I was taking some set dressing to a "tow" truck they bought...well it looks original..it runs, the winch works, the tri-pole towing frame looks original...all the gauges are there as well as the data plates...no holes or heavy rust ANYWHERE..has all the glass ect ect ect....well I found out that it will be crushed by a creature or falling concrete. I am trying to convince the Picture Car guy to let me get stuff off it before or after they wreck it...so heres hoping. To me it is a real waste....couldn't they find something else to distroy??? Anyway..the data plates states it was built June 13 1944...I think it had cab style 13 ( only has one seat)..and the other plate had this on it C15A-WIRE-5 does anyone know what that means??? THank you and again, I hope it is not distroyed..even if it is damaged..it is still in in better shape than MANY I have seen recovered and rebuilt. Anything I should try to save off it??? Dean

Otherwise, if they aren't planning to drive it, why not grab the whole instrument panel (with data plates) including the temperature tube to the engine and the cylinder head fitting for the steam tube. Unless they need the seat frame to show in the shot as it gets crushed, someone is sure to want it. Chev master cylinders are harder to find than Ford. Almost any part could be useful depending on price. Nothing against Jeep people, but I don't understand the desire some of them have to pay large for rusty F script bolts. In short,it all depends on what they need to keep to show in their shot, what is relatively quick/easy to remove and what they want for what they offer.

Maybe the picture car guy would like to do a stand in for the truck!

What ever is saved, I am willing to transport Free Of Charge eastwards on the 401 to Gananoque.
I will be in Whitby soon and can take anything from the whole truck down to boxes of remains. Not my area of interest but work takes me that way with 1 ton truck and can so easily latch on the float trailer. If Bob Carriere and the Hammond barn dwellers want it I will bring it back. If Bob wants to pay for my fuel from Gananoque to the Hammond barn and return to Gan or cross load it in Gan onto his rig i'm game to help see anything saved. I'm not a complete philistine just because i'm not into that era kit. Regards Robin

Can't it be swapped for a real wreck? I'm sure the local MLUers would be able to come up with a suitable swap....
I would hate to see a restorable CMP being crushed and the scene ending up on the floor of the cutting room
