No problems, just merged your posting with an earlier thread.

Interestingly, because of this I saw posting #13 above, it seems to be the same "Ford Chevy"

Ah yes, in CMPs in France, of course!

If I remember correctly the passing of the owner and the clearing of the La Calmette yard was already mentioned on HMVF some time ago.....(about a year ago?)

So, some of the truck might have already been saved. I know for a fact that the rare International (was it a K5) is saved.

EDIT: Wrong again....I must be getting old.....it was a mention from about a year ago that the owner went to a home for the elderly and that the yard was to be cleared. The message at the time was on Travellerdaves website and not HMVF. Travellerdaves website also mentioned the International was about to be picked up (hopefully for restoration).

This International KS7 Tipper? It looks very restorable, contrary to the CMPs in that yard. . . .
