This vid will give you an idea of just how fast Bob can reel a CMP on board his trailer. So, if you see the Hammond Barn crew tooling around with an empty trailer, make sure your CMP is locked up...

Gosh! You could be away for a quick cup of coffee and never knew what happened!

Pfeww...Bob, you nearly got me there.....for a moment I thought you found a C60X with cab 11.....but it's just another 15cwt cab 11

Great find!

Last weekend Grant and Rob did manage to bring home a C60X...... known as the long awaited Galetta road C60X.

Pictures to follow....... no rest for the wicked..... and got a lead on a ?15a running...... hope it is a Chev and not a Ford.... yeck...spit.. spit... but if the price is right..... we might rescue the poor thing.

Stay tuned..

Now that the cat is out of the bag, here are some photos from that friggin hot and humid recovery mission:

Photo one: On the trailer without too much fuss
Photo two: Glory shot
Photo three: Both seem happy...

Great video, I was half expecting to see the trailer and pickup being pulled into the picture and the HUP standing firm.

Jordan, It seems that only Fords CMPs give us problems with recoverys...The Chevs continue to move with grace and style, while the Fords have to be pulled kicking and fighting all the way.

LOL. it must be all that oil that seeps out of the chev's.

Don't worry Im not starting or trying to start a Chev vs Ford thing since I wear both hats.

There are a few out there that swing both ways. However, I do like Gunner's comment ..."If it is a CMP, I will love it." I'm paraphrasing here, but you get the idea. Can't wait until Bobbie chimes in...

Bob? Grant? Guy? You guys still breathing? I have not seen any postings from the barn lately. While I have an excuse for not posting lately (beer drinking tour of the maritimes), you three have been particularly quiet. What is going on there in the great have not province of Ontario?

For collectors in the Annapolis Valley area - there is a 3/4 ton truck sitting near a barn near Cambridge (take the Kentville exit, and head east on highway 1 - keep your eyes peeled on the left hand side), and a flat fender jeep two klicks west of Aylesford, again on the 1 (sitting near a barn on the left side of the road). I am not sure if they are for sale as the "boss" wouldn't let me stop to enquire...something about no rusty army trucks while on vacation...and thus the beer drinking continues...

Regards from the Pictou area.
