For whatever reason, they shipped a Ford CMP all the way to Oshawa and the photos were taken at the GM plant there with mucky mucks from Ford, Chrysler and GM present.
That was an F60L, see http://www.mapleleafup.net/forums/sh...ad.php?t=22824

Default I spy with my little eye......

Fantastic pictures Jordan....... and they were taken in Ottawa ....... from Lebreton's Flat or about were the CWM is today.......

In Plate X and X11 you can see the Quebec side and I would bet a whole dollar that the 6 span bridge in the back ground is the Prince of Wales RR bridge that connected the marshaling yards of Lebreton to the PQ side just below the current Hull Armory at St Joseph blvd. Bridge is still there although unused. Pretty sure that the little building was a RR office in the flats...... behind it would be Mechanicsville....rough part of town on "the other side" of the tracks just short of where Tunneys Pasture was filled with government buildings in the late 50/60.

There is no way to tell if a Chrysler 6 or even the straight 8 was installed on the Ford power train.

....and I believe that the ballasted trailer is the same, with fenders removed, that Grant has almost finished restoring.

PS.... it is the same as Grant's trailer...... notice the tailgate bottom center...it has a small flap door that opens outward.....Grant reproduced it but we have no idea what it was intended for...... also just front of the trailer rear spring hanger you can see the dark outline of where the fender bracket was located.....finally the drop sides have been removed....... but on top of the side panels the hinges are still visible.....

PPS.....plate IX and plate V11...... there seems to be an exhaust pipe on the driver's side......which would be logical with a Chrysler (6 or 8) engine and almost necessary with the winch on the passenger side.....

That's it!!!

I wonder if it's anything like the rear bodies built by GMH Special Body Division for a range of Aussie-built/assembled vehicles like my International K5?
