Thanks guys for the nice references about the F60H. We try to promote
the CMP trucks in Holland very much. The nice "Maple Leaf Up" site/forum
from the late Geoff Winnington-Ball is an excellent good help for any one
of us who like the Canadian trucks. Our common enemy is "time".

Nice to see the first goodies have found their way in the cab; did you make the new wooden (lower) rifle holders?

Dirk, why did you decide to swap the Indian(?) tires for bar threads? Better quality tires maybe?

Yes I did, but it's more a job for a carpenter to make "the Socket Rifle Butt's".

Not only a better quality but also a better look.


Stefan is almost ready with the windshield, wiper motors plus a few canvas
straps. After that, the F60H chassis & Cab is ready for a drive between all the
other carriers and CMP's on the proving ground nearby (Wartime) Toronto.

Excellent. Is that an original PASS plate by the way. Holmes will be tackled soon?

Will contact you somewhere soon with a new wish list for the C8.

First some body modifications of the "Wrecker" and finally the crane plus equipment.
The "Pass" plate is an orginal one, yes I'm lucky for that.

Stefan, that looks like quite a stock of Amstel in the background.
