There is no way that the qty of 5 is correct, at least not in post war service. And the "Manitoba one" came from Saskatchewan. It had the markings of the Moose Jaw militia RCEME on it. Peter Ford also had a KL.....not sure where it originated from. Another went through the scrapyard in Winnipeg. Another was at Elliot brothers yard in Ontario. Remnants of another were at Reynolds museum. The KLs, while not common, were by no means rare either. Even a lot of the accessories were to be found, still hiding at various armories back in the 90s.

KL Welder
Rick/Rob
Just picked up on this thread. I have a fully restored KL - 42 Chassis - even got the mfg brass plate on the lh rear corner of the bed. the only thing I am missing is the WELDER!! Got the bows and all. Got the truck in Saint John NB at a junk yard where it had led a hard life. The guy sold the welding unit about thirty years ago but doesn't remember to who. I have looked all over the Province, but to no avail. Looks great sitting in my garage, but thats about it. I'd att a pic or two, but I'm a bit of a putz on re-sizing etc. I'll find a welder one day?????????????? Or.............. Cheers, Bill

Ask a welder.
Rick,
Tommy Allen of London has a welder truck just like that one. He used one when he was in the army in WW2 in Italy and beyond. He spent his working life welding, and I am sure that he would he eager to tell you everything you need to know. Lately he welded some grab irons onto a local Sexton - that you may have seen. If you thought that my dial up access was slow, you should see his! Tommy does not have this new fangled internet, so you will have to call him the old fashioned way. If you come out to my place next time you are in Ontario he may give you a class in my garage, as his restored unit sleeps in my garage during the winter. Stewart

What ever happened to Don...?
Is he still around Stoney Creek...... does he still own the KL???
Had a lot of chuckles with him in Chatsworth..... Hope he is doing well. There is a complete welder in Quyon PQ with Kirk Armitage. Bob
