Default I bow my head in reverence to you.......

Oh masterful one........

I too have been exercising restraint and trying to limit myself only to cab 11/12 .........unless some other deal shows up!!!!!

Have you ever bothered to count the miles or km for all your recoveries???

Some things are better left uncounted. However, these were all local in province, with the furthest one being just 3 hours away each way, and the closest one being just less than a half hour away.

Default Oooops

Fruedian slip...I forgot one. This is a truck I picked up in Saskatchewan decades ago. I brought it to Manitoba, sold it to Derk Derin, who sold it to Rob Fast. I bought it back....although it has lost a lot of it's jewellery, it is still a very nice straight truck. I have offered first dibs on it to the museum, as they do not have a 3 ton cargo. But if they turn it down, then it will remain here. Either way, I'll have to restore it.



It is a Ford 3 ton cargo. It has a very very straight tailgate, the spare tire carrier, the pto air compressor, and the folding troop seats are in the back. When I originally bought it, it still had the airline hanging off the rifle bracket, and came with the manual, toolbox, and trouble light.

Rob, you’ve been a busy boy lately! I’m glad to see you found an artillery tractor to go with the confiscated shell. I hope that project is high on the priority list... I’m looking forward to seeing it.

I think the rule is that you should not be able to field more equipment than the country in which you reside. You're OK, carry on.

But don't buy any subs.

Quite the collection Rob. I also have a hard top equipped M38, but the interior top insulation is in terrible shape. Curious if you have or find a source of 1/2" thick olive green closed cell foam. I believe Ensolite is the correct type.

I will likely not use the hardtop, so no, I haven't looked for replacement insulation.



I have owned a M38A1CDN3 for over a decade now, and have never once installed the canvas.
