Shipping a CMP

On that subject, do you know of anybody locally or locally-ish that would be good to talk to in locating one?

Also, what yard does he own?

On another note, how much would it cost to have a CMP shipped from Britain? They're certainly a lot more common over there (And I'd love to have one that actually saw combat-my dream would be to find one that was used by the 1st Canadian Parachute Infantry, but I'd just be happy to find one that's a veteran of some variety), and often in better shape.

Actually, I think I was just looking there on Friday-didn't go in, since they were closed, but I did a few passes after work.

Didn't see any MVs, but I DID see an old '50s Ford pickup-looked a bit beater, but the body was all there, great candidate for a Rat Rod...

Also, the cost for shipping those trucks to Edmonton was less than half the price.

What I'll probably end up doing is waiting until I have the money to pick up a used work truck, getting the trucks shipped to a storage yard, buying a truck and trailer in Edmonton, and hauling them back to Whitehorse myself when it thaws out a bit.
