Default Few more photos

I’m not sure if the bullet holes are authentic combat holes. 

Thanks Rob for your help loading.

Hope your trip home was uneventful.

Not sure I should be admitting to helping you poach these items from MB. The artillery shell is one of the holy grails of collecting, so your long drive into Prairie Command territory is understandable. It is certainly a beautiful piece.

Default you've got the back, I've got the front

wow, congrats -this shows treasures are still out there!

I'm looking for a back for my CGT, or at least the plans so I can build my own. Maybe I could talk you out of your rear section, or you could talk me out of the rest of the matching truck, same colour as well

Default Nice Find!

Hi Rick,
Nice find.How long did it take to recover?Was the tree that was growing through it hard to remove?
ROB FAST are you seeing this?Right here in Manitoba!This is the body you need for your FAT restoration isn't it? Better start looking for another one before the Ontario poachers beat you to it.I understand that Rick filled out all of the necessary export permits to remove Manitoba military vehicle heritage and was legally removed from the province through Rob Love.
Again,nice find and more CMP's saved from the wilderness,
Derk.

Woah!!! Wait a minute. He told me he had sent the application in to our club executive and had received a faxed copy of the approval. I trusted that he had. I did not see any supporting documentation.

I would like to change my previous story. I wasn't there, nobody saw me, and you can't prove a thing.
