I blew the inner tube on one of those tires on my KL welding lorry back n the day. We had stopped about 20 minutes out of Winnipeg, and were towing the truck behind an MLVW to go to a DND parade. We ended up towing it the rest of the way to Winnipeg, drove it downtown and through all of the parade, back to the base, and finally replaced the tire before the trip home. The KL is one heavy CMP, yet you could not tell that tire was flat.

That was a nice truck with lots of potential. I think I would have preferred seeing it go to a private collector to have restored to original, but in the end it's his truck to do as he pleases.
