Thanks!

I may need to narrow down the location somewhat - Diesel is getting expense, but the tour of the Picture Province would be nice... As far as I am concerned, any HUP wreck will do! By the way, do you have any CMP six bolt sixteen inch split rims for sale or trade? Cheers, Rob

brian is correct, it lies down here in lobster land.......the old road between welsford and fredericton junction at clarendon. trying to buy it would be a waste of time....i have tried. at first i got a very long story about how it belonged to "the man of the house" who had passed on and that it was some sort of memorial to him. later i find out that it really belonged to the son....who still has the body and a ton of parts in a barn.....still not forsale. i have left a card with both the owner and the mother of the owner(whose property it rests on) incase they change their minds. about once a year i take a drive up to see if it still remains and to see if there has been a change of heart. no, i have no interest in a hup, but if salvable, i would like to see it go to a good home. mike |

This is an unpublished snapshot that Jan Vandevelde, an RE WD/CO owning friend picked up recently out of curiosity over the motorcycle. The original is a bit indistinct but our best guess is that it is an Ariel.
My limited CMP recognition skills can pick out a Chevrolet badge. Could anyone provide any further information? |

Do note, that the "crew" have plenty of parts for trade - Hey Bob! What's that about a trailer frame? By the way, the CMP hunting is looking pretty good in Northumberland County and points north...

Knotted Knickers
Surely, only in jest I say. Yes, I have been after this truck for a number of years. When I first came across it, it was in very restorable condition, but sadly it has deteriorated to the point that it is not even useful as a pattern. The "parts" that are in the barn(also deteriorated) have been allowed to sit in the annual puddle that acumulates in the rotten barn and are just about to return to the earth. Sad tale, but it's the old story of "I'm gonna fix 'er up one of these days". BTW Rob, I have spies in all corners of the "Picture Province" who have been forwarned about the nefarious activities of "Upper Canadians" attempting to make off with our historic artifacts. Descriptions of truck/trl combinations and the "crew" have been circulated by carrier pigeon! BEWARE!!
Cheers, Bill PS Got the PM |

Yes I live in Upper Canada, but you know where my heart really lives. I have family and friends all throughout Nouveau Brunswick who know of my interests. Perhaps we can strike an accord, and network? I would hate to have to skulk around such a beautiful part of United Canada, forever watching my back for the lobster shell and gut ambush! Chances are, the only time you will see the "crew" is going to or coming from Nova Scotia. But, rest assured, we are looking northwest and not down east for our next haul. Yours in good faith,

Peace..........
Rob, as you know, I am a peaceful man! I may start an earnest search for a good home for the recently acquired T, and go on the hunt for another CMP. The Burton LAD will accomodate another CMP, but not quite enough room for the T. So..........
Cheers, Bill : |

Love this pic, Mark! I try to recreate such a scene when I go to living history encampments and show and tactical battles. While many of the other units have their shelter halves lined up in ranks and files with everything neatly put away, I'll have my long johns hanging from a clothesline, old wool socks that are in the middle of being darned, a half empty bottle of French wine, a table made of ammo crates and a folding chair that I nicked from a local church. Now that's realism! Derek.

No wonder all the roofs have dents
If you have ever wondered why all CMPs seem to have dented roofs. Pictures like these explain why every other one seems to have some one sitting or standing on the roofs of the cab or sitting on the canvas which they got to by walking on the cab.

Re: No wonder all the roofs have dents

As a young gunner in the '70s, I spent a lot of time on the roof of the deuce and a half spreading out and rolling up cam nets. The hoods and roofs were not meant for traffic, and as a result it was pretty easy to spot gun tractors in the armouries. Besides offering a nice "roost" from which to watch a parade, I suspect that the need for camouflage contributed to the dents. Even with air supremacy in Italy and NWE, vehicle cam helped make your truck attract less attention (from panzers or low angle of sight air defence gunners).

Thats it the dents are camo
That’s a great answer in inspections, "Sir that vehicle is not damage it has a disruptive panel treatment to improve its camouflage characteristics”
Also handy explanation for judging at MVPA events where some of the judges don’t understand if the paint is not uneven and it doesn’t have runs in frame paint then it is not authentic.

If you are going to restore a factory fresh CMP, then you can expect some level of perfection, but it must be remembered that even the factory took liberities with the quality program. If you are going to restore a truck to an "operational" level then it is no holds barred in my opinion. Army wrench benders made do using materials at hand, which did not always meet OEM specs. It is my practice to respond to the critical "purists" by indicating that they are most welcomed to contribute authentic parts or fund a full restoration. All have declined so far. The funny thing is that the purists are not really pure - they use modern fuel and oil... Love them dents!

Ok so the truck is not in the background, but that is because "IT IS THE BACKGROUND"
