FWD HAR-01

Any pictures of the treasure in the background?

It's sad to see a FWD in such straits. There are too few of these in captivity.

I can remember back in the 70s in sawmill country they were always known as "Waukeshas" as nobody knew the correct name I suppose.

In the background? Where? Oh, THAAAT!!!

Yes, also patiently waiting for the Resurrection is a Ford F60L with a Cab 11 or 12. I don't know what internal ID points there are to ID the cab type, and much of the front cowl is gone for my usual points of recognition. There's not a lot left on this one, it's basically a cowl and chassis.

It is a cab 12
Has hinges for the hood

Although it has escaped the attention of the Scrap Metal merchants over the last few hectic years, it's clear that someone has been picking the body clean. The bones are scattered around the place with most of the good stuff gone or rusted on solid.

All the dots and dashes on the chequerplate floor are sharp and crisp with no wear, indicating that this truck might not have seen a lot of work.

After seeing a lot of cab 12's in this sort of state

Its a miracle someone didnt alter the floor in some way.

That is WELL WORTH grabbing - someone......anyone!!!

My notes for the Chevrolet CMP that operated with the 'train' say:

THIS WAS FOR THE 1943-SUPPLIED CANADIAN RADAR TRAIN: 1. FWD HAR-01 GS WITH GENERATOR SET + 5-TON 4-WHEELED TRAILER RADAR A/A NO.3 MK.1 OR “APF TRAILER” AND 2. FWD HAR-01 GS + 5-TON 4-WHEELED TRAILER RADAR A/A NO.4 MK.1 “P1 TRAILER”; 3. CHEVROLET C.60 [L?] WINCH TRUCK WITH CABLES.

My info has it that the cenus numbers for the FWDs were:

L 4688568 to 4688571
L 4688575 to 4688580
L 4688584 to 4688587

and
L 4785291 to 4786090
