I just checked my copy of the 1989 issue of INFOX by Peter Ford. Peter knew Mickey well, and this HUP does not show up in the INFOEX record. Peter did find a complete 1C11 HUP from the same British Contract as mine in the Melfort area in the late 1980's but the owner was not too friendly and Peter was unable to get a close look at it. He also found the train wreck HUP and got parts from it. The front end was a complete right off. Everything gone from the seats forward.

That was Mike Heiberg who owned the HUP when it was in Gronlid. He ran the seed cleaning plant in town. Most of those CMPs ended up at his brother Ken's east of Regina and I ended up with several of them.

Photos Now Included
As promised, here are some photos of the HUP before coming off the trailer. It leaked out a bunch of it's transfer case oil (it is a chev after all...it has to leak), and it's currently stuck in gear, but those are minor problems. As you can see in some of the photos, some tidying up of the body will still need to be done, but overall Mark has done a good job cleaning it up. All new glass and channels, wiring harnesses, brakes....just needs some TLC and assembly.

The 5/4 ton was used to pull it down, and bring it into the quonset for the winter. What is not shown are the dozen or so boxes of parts, some used and some NOS. Goodies like NOS overflow tank, muffler, lights, and mirrors, and plenty more. The truck is currently on ferret tires, but these will soon be exchanged for a set of the STA 10:50X16 that I have saved up in the shed. I didn't even have a project for them...I just bought them cause I knew someday........
In fact, I have been hoarding an original HUP parts manual for the last 31 years, also because I knew one day I would have one of these. Then again, I have been hoarding dozens if not hundreds of manuals.....I won't live long enough to have them all. But I really did want a HUP.

Rob, you've got a nice unit there. It looks even better than when I last saw it at Gronlid!

Mike Heiberg Gronlid Sask
I was lucky enough to have picked up this 1941 C15A from Mike in 2006, was very complete and very nice condition, had been stored for years indoors only minor rust. I had tried to buy the HUP but by the time I finally made up my mind to buy it had already been sold.
