CMP needs rescuing in Saskatchewan

[rob love]

The first CMP I restored was a cab 11 Ford from the South West corner of Manitoba. Same deal, the metal was in fantastic shape, but the wood had almost completely disappeared.

Well after a catch like that you better keep us posted to how things are going with that great truck. I would rather have trees, but the long bare hills of the south-west of Sask. does have it's own beauty. Just not in winter when the wind is howling at you. There are lots of treasures like that hidden all over the place. I'm trying to track down some trucks in my area, but the wet weather here has kept me on the roads. Keep trucking!

By the way, Hutterites immigrated from Austria, Germany, and other central European countries to escape persecution. They set up Colonies, or more or less cooperative group home settings. They mainly farm but do have other businesses (woodworking, metal fab, boiler making, trailer making etc..) They speak low German for the most part but are taught English in school. They do not pay taxes as are a religious group (not a cult). They have modernized whereas the Amish have not. They are a great source of fresh produce, if you live near them and befriend them. The Amish have kept many of the old skills, and still transport via horse and buggy. For this reason an Amish colony nearby is a great find for anybody needing a wheelright to rebuild a wagon etc, or even old vehicle wheels. I have not had much to do with the Amish, but certainly have spent a bit of time on Hutterite colonies. They make a great dandelion wine. The only thing a danelion is good for.
P.S I realized I spelled Wainwright wrong on my "Signature" and have now corrected it. Take care Ewen

I went and hauled it home today. Pictures are on my latest acquisition page.
