Maybe I will make 2 people happy

Agree with Wayne, a fairly clean truck in it's original non-disruptive paint. Most likely an early release from the Trudeau Sr era when he downsized the military in the early 70s. I make that judgement on the later modifications like west coast mirrors and clearance lights missing on this example.

If it wasn't for the puddle..................

I'm the same as Lynn, all that water in between is a bit of a problem. It most certainly is a great deal and I can't believe you guys over there call those trucks "spare parts" as it looks so clean and extremely restorable. They must be quite common there. Great project!

[rob love]

They are not as common as they used to be. But you have to be a "big truck" guy to want to maintain and operate such a large vehicle. Don't forget that for 4 or 5 months of the year, working on a truck like this on the driveway is not a viable option. Transmissions are also problematic, and parts for the tranny are not plentiful. Then add to that the liter of fuel you use for every mile travelled, and the higher class of license you need to operate it on the road. Oh yeah, annual safeties unless you use an option like antique.

I had mine with it's howitzer at the downtown cruise night a couple days ago. The howitzer is the draw, the truck is just a little bit of window dressing. I had very few questions about the truck.
