So, apologies to car people but I am lumping both the GMC and Chevrolet products together because of body style. Period.

So 96505 wandered around the Ottawa area for quite a while and served a number of units. Here it starts off being fitted with a winch and as far as I can tell it was a vehicle belonging to Mapping and Charting from Booth St, Ottawa, the first two shots show it out at the Alert hangar area near the old fire training area at what was CFB Uplands in 1995. Note that this had the rear barn doors which was an often specified optional feature and a recognition point of DND and RCMP vehicles for a long time.

The third shot somewhat more distant is the same truck but in 1996.

The last shot shows it now minus its winch and brush guard as part of the Range Control fleet out at Connaught Ranges along the Ottawa River in 1998.
