Just curious, how many CMP 3 toners (60 CWT), either Chev or Ford, restored, licensed and are on the road in Canada today. Robert

Gentlemen of Canada....am I to say...I have the only restored, on the road, 60CWT on the road today, in Canada. Let me know, as I'm having some signs printed. Cheers....Robert

Robert,

Regrettably the number of "up and running" 60 cwts is very low in Canada but there are some out there.
Here is what comes to mind immediately:

C60's

The Ontario Regiment Museum, Oshawa
Dan McCaw, Coe Hill, Ontario.
Andre Gibeault (wrecker) in Quebec
Marc Belanger, Montreal

F60's

private owner in Havelock, Ontario
The Bomber Command Museum in Nanton, Alberta http://www.bombercommandmuseum.ca/vehicles.html

Hope this helps. Be nice to your truck - it is an endangered species.

Brian

Hi Robert

You ask such a great question could we expand it to how many CMPs are currently on the road world wide?

Much along the line of the tread of Bob Fasts MLU country thread leaders???

What do you think, lets try and get a snap shot of what CMPs are on the road what they are and where?

Suggested status:

Registered for the Road

Under Restoration but drive-able

Un-restored but drive-able

What do you think?

Cheers Phil

I have a running 1943 F60 in Windsor Ontario
You can see it on www.militarymuster.org web site under video links
and picture links.

I'd add a status for "in the garage with lots of parts and waiting to be restored"

I think there's a lot of those out there that will either be a treasure trove for the lucky, or scrapped when the current owner passes away.
