Found it: http://www.mapleleafup.net/forums/sh...3&postcount=59 It was sold on ebay last time.

The truck was driven to its new home last night, Dec 27. The trip took it from Stonewall Manitoba to its new home near Carman Manitoba. The outside temperature was -28C. Travel was after dark. The new owner sent the following description of his trip...

"CMP made the 64 miles trip home around 10:30 last night, then we decided to carry on 11 miles to the diesel shop at Carman. There were a few early stops to check her over. Stopped at Elie to add about 6 gallons of gas for the first 40 miles, brought front tires to 60 psi and added 3 liters of oil. It blows some out dipstick, maybe it burns some, will investigate in warmer better lit conditions. She was running around 185 degrees. With the engine cowl off temperature was decent in the cab albeit fumes were present and side wind would infiltrate door frames. The alternator kicked in after it warmed up and was able to see very well with the big plow lights. I think power steering would have taken away from the experience. The emergency brake is functional. We achieved a comfortable cruising speed approaching 20 mph. Overall, it was a very nice drive in the countryside. Thanks for helping us get her road ready last night and for all your help with re-homing the CMP to us."

This might have set a new ironman record for distance/temperature travelled under its own power.
