Interesting Vehicle

There is no way to find pre-78 vehicles. I checked your CFR and it was reassigned in 2000 or so to a forklift. There was likely no data in the computer anyway since your vehicle pre-dated the loomis record system (I believe).

About the only way you will find any information is either through careful paint removal to find unit markings, or else by chance such as unit photos showing the CFR on the vehicle. Perhaps visit some of the unit museums that are in the area of the truck you bought and look through their old photo albums.

Peter Ford from Saskatoon was once keeping a CMP data bank with owners, models, serial numbers etc. It was available to people on a subscription basis. But I believe the upkeep of the data died with Peter. Quite frankly, I believe that so many of these trucks still exist, or are waiting to be found, that a data bank would be a large and long going undertaking.
