To write a story about, working on a CMP "Monkey Face" truck (cab) is
a long story. Maybe a nice discussion in the Kitchener's Bar in Beltring ?

Ofcours Brian, here are some more. An other story
is, lots of dirt on the beach. The paviljoen owners
asked me, where are the Canadian immigrants ?

Thanks guys for the nice references about the F60H. We try to promote
the CMP trucks in Holland very much. The nice "Maple Leaf Up" site/forum
from the late Geoff Winnington-Ball is an excellent good help for any one
of us who like the Canadian trucks. Our common enemy is "time".

The third photo looks like you found the (very) light beer after loading. My experience loading at the Chicken Ranch is that even a rolling frame can be a good workout when you are hand winching.
There is regularly a listing for Holmes literature for the w35 wrecker set, although I think the CMP used the w45, on ebay.
