Yeah, finding period photographs of Canadian Jeeps, of any era, with manilla rope around the bumper are a challenge to locate. Hats off to anyone who can display their vehicle with all of the EIS, but I can understand just how difficult and expensive it is to find all of the various items. Even keeping track of that stuff when they were in military service was almost a full time job.
