John, were the van trucks complete inside and did you ever snap pictures of the rear interior?

We're real curious about the entire G749 story including their after service life. The G749 had many configurations in service and must be one of the most modified after service vehicles in Canada. From barge pulling, manure spreading, firefighting, rutabaga hauling, Maligne Lake ship removal truck, coal mine service, well drilling trucks, the G749 has a story to tell!

Recently inquiring with GM Canada to help research G749 NO. 1, we're hoping they respond soon with more cool information. We all love the stories of those who peddled the Deuce so all pilot stories appreciated.....if you want to see more of the ladies!

This little lady is stepping off the M211 CDN that resides at our G749 farm. Thanks to one of the greatest troops I've never met, I know it served in Penhold and has a cold war past. "Attach Stuck White Knight Here" is painted on the back so this truck may have pulled on an ambulance.

The other truck is Goose the M135 CDN in front of the M1010. Goose served Wainwright, went to Calgary and is now a parade queen.
