Beautiful work Gord! Such a rare vehicle...often wish I hadn't sold my own 60cwt.. it used to drive like a dream...although with the 900x20's it was happy at 85-90 kmp, 100 was pushing it. (and really happy at about 50-60kmh. and it too was a rare one, an REL contract and so had the big winch as fitted to FAT's
I only ever used the 4wd twice and on both occasions it was amazing..once when taking it out of storage in a barn across a soft field, I stopped for the gate and it slowly sank. trying to get out with RWD only succeeding in sinking it further up to the diffs...4wd pulled it right out...wow..
BTW- there was a junkyard in Quebec about 15 years ago with a few lindsay bodies (and a few cmps) they were using as storage for parts.. I mentioned it at the time, but dont think anyone else ever went there to save them.. The yard and TONS of parts all gone now...sigh.
anyway.... again beautiful work ! Congrats for saving the piece of Canadian history !! well done that man!!
