Morning George. Take a look behind the passenger seat in your truck and see if the REL plate is still attached to cab wall. The data plate is for Research Enterprises Limited. These trucks were used to pull Radar trailers. The one we have still had RCAF Comox on the door when we got it.

My bets are.....
The yellow is original airforce colour......
Here is a pic of a known airforce truck located in Eastern Ontario.... it has been manipulated/darkened to better read the numbers. It still has the airforce crest on the cab doors...... and the original winch. May 9th 1944...... and it has the large axles and 20 inch rims.... box has been cut up to accommodate a wing plow...... David please add to your "repertoire"..... Bob C.

Thank's for the tip Rob .I never saw this litle plate till you said where to look .
CMP 60 015.jpg Then I got out my air craft paint remover and under the door decals is the Royal Air Force decals . So now we know the rest of the story . A little knowlage goes a long way . Where would one ever find the winch that goes on the truck ? Maybe I can make one out of a truck rearend .Would there be a manual for this winch ? George

George. The winch is a very special piece of kit on the truck because of the way it mounts. Has two large flange bearing on each side.
 These are pictures of the progress of our truck. These were taken on her first drive in about thirty years.  Still missing left fenders but it's getting there. Rob

Thanks Cliff. I was just referring back to what George said, trying to make one out of a truck rear end. It's completely different the way it's mounted.
