Bill Gregg & the Wood Pile

[rob love]

I would have to confirm, but I think it is in the Dustbowl here in Shilo. Perhaps "Crerar's caravan" was mounted on it when it came to Shilo?

Edited to add: Nope, memory does not serve me...the caravan was on the "Selkirk fire truck". The Ford was near to it in Bill's Barn. Almost certain it is down in the dustbowl somewhat derelict these days.

Typical government standards
this is why they should not be caretakers of our history or control of our tax dollars
The story behind the woodpile is when we were looking at the caravan we had a glint of sunshine come out of the woodpile so Bill asked what was buried in the woodpile
Charlie says <oh I parked a truck there in 1954 to that I was going to use to tote my air port dozer around on but it was taking to long to get to it so I stacked the rails around it it dry the rails and keep the weather off the truck
Well was it for sale ?yes if we can make a deal on the caravan
two weeks later they vehicles were in Rockwood and about 2 hrs later after a sets of points a hanging fuel tank and fuel it was running
It was taken to Bills and stored for later restoration as there was very few know to exist at that time
It was delivered to Shilo with the understanding that it would be stored inside and restored
On arrival it drove off the train

Here is a picture of another Ford 4x6, from the Tillsonburg yard, that has gone to a far better home than CFB Shilo.

That's pretty cool with the Selkirk markings. That fire Stn is about 30min from me. A few years ago I was doing training there and saw some pictures they had of a CMP or two converted to fire trucks.
