Bob nice truck unfortunatly unuseable to me as they are low res and here not hi res copies in an email to me. Thanks anyway.

The third photo showing the truck towing the limber and gun would be OK if you can email it to me. But please remember Hi Res and sized about 1200 pix wide so I can enlarge it to my requirements. I also need - full name of Owner, Truck & gun type & year.

Folk you have done wonders and I will have a MLU calendar for sale by the end of next week. $5AUD will go to Jif from the sale of each calendar to help run the site. Price including post to different destinations around the world will be given once it is ready.

Cheers
Cliff

PS> Please keep the photos coming as I can use them for next years MLU Calendar.

Thanks for those but as I have said elsewhere in the thread photos posted here on the forum are NOT suitable as they are too small and low res compared to what is needed.

Please either email Hi Res untouched photos to Jif or myself for inclusion in next years calendar as this vehicle would look nice as one of the twelve needed for it.

Cliff..
That is an immaculate and extremely rare 11 CAB gun tractor..
Walter Brand has owned it forever and used to drive it to high school..He kept it and it took years but Albert Bain and Walter and Walters son rebuilt it from next to scratch..
Albert is a master tool and die maker and can make anything out of metal and between the three of them they built all the fittings,panels,boxes and parts required to put that beauty together..
I had the pleasure to hear the story first hand from Walter at CC 3 a few years ago,when the lads drove it from Petrolia to Chatsworth(about two hundred miles)..It was in gray primer at the time and I'm happy to see it again..(Take note that it has a current license on it for Ontario)
That should definitely be a cover for your calendar..You won't find any 11 CAB gun tractors as nice as this one..anywhere..
Hope Walter corrects my story ,as time has made me relate this story as I remember it..
I don't think beer would have any effect on my story ,,,would you..??
