Default How many C/F 8's are operational

Just curious, does anyone know how many C or F 8's are operational (Operational means being able to drive down the road under their own power.) here in North America? If possible, how many are located in Canada and how many are located in the US?

Regards,
Jim

In Saskatchewan and Alberta I know of eight 8 cwts and only two are operational, one near Eston Sask and one in Saskatoon, Sask. I hope to add mine to the operational list sometime this year as long as I don't get too sidetracked with other stuff.

Thumbs up F-8

This truck is running again. If you do a search I think that there are more pictures on the forum.
