Default Ford pilot truck

Dennis,

Here are some pics of when I spotted it back in 2014. A unique vehicle, I was happy to have seen it in the metal.

Was it sold to Arlon Bauer after that?

Built by Ford around Sept 1939.
The start of the CMP line.

Unique lift-up hood cover.
Left hand drive, Flathead V8, and standard commercial instrument panel.

The rough wooden board seat is obviously not original
But if you look closely, it's sitting on a formed metal base, which perhaps could be original.??

There is one in the War Museum.
One on Vancouver Island, and one at CFB Shilo.

This particular one went to a Mr. Arlon Bauer, north of Calgary.

Can anyone provide a update about these unique CMP's.. Especially Arlon's..?
