Yes SAVE IT......
Hi TomThere is always something to be salvaged..... even if it is just for pictures and measurements......
Tell us where you are...... Little things like the brass blocks that connects the brake hose to the wheel cylinders...... are all precious...... It would be nice if it was a prototype Chrysler with a straight 8 engine..... ...and pictures please...... you can never take enough..... particularly if you are to take it apart..... and try to figure out how parts fitted where.... four years later. You should consider working on it..... MLU is a good location to find parts... so is knowing the Pope on a first name basis for Divine intervention............ the biggest problem is the distance and cost associated with shipping.... We have a Ford cab at the barn.... and possibly another that could be acquired..... and we also have a full complete Ford that is waiting to be loved back to life....... assuming you are slightly perverted. Us pure of heart stick to Chevrolet...... NOW watch the lightning....... Boob

Ok, I will go back probably on Sunday and get some pics. I couldn't really get at the engine to have a good look for snow, my cousin was telling me he thought it was a ford 8 in it. I will go back with a shovel and get it cleaned out. It looks to have been park a very long time, there was a fair sized tree grown up around the back tire.
It would be easy to haul out, it's only a few hundred metres into the bush, right off the side of a trail. The word on the street is that the local township bought two after the war, and used them up until the 60s to plow snow. Bob sold the good one to his neighbour, and he scavenged parts off the other one, and that's all I know. I will get after Bob again and see if I can haul it out in the spring. All I need to do is go down with the backhoe and a chainsaw, clear a few trees, and tow it out. My wife is going to be so happy..... She was just ecstatic in October when I broke my ankle, then two days later after my surgery, towed home my M38A1 and 53 M100 trailer. hahaha p.s. I am in Tobermory, Ont. I also know the neighbour that restored the 42 Chev, and he is looking to sell if it hasn't already sold. It was in good shape, he used to take it to the local car show the odd night. Tom

Tobermory..
Quote:
I may be wrong but I believe that the Caldwell's water truck was once a Tobermory town vehicle.. and may be one of the two that you spoke of in an earlier post.. Maybe Dan Or Jeff can tell of where they found their CMP's..One was from a small town Ontario municipality.. You better plan on coming to Ottawa in June for the BBB thrash in June.. With or with out vehicle,you are welcome..just be a CMP..Rusty old truck..or mean green kindred spirit..and you will fit in and enjoy yourself..
