Thanks!
Andrew: I would love an extended vacation and would work for my keep. Is your wife a good cook?  Tony: Don't know if Carl was a purist, but hope he would have appreciated the effort it took to get his truck back on the road again.. As for the next project, I have a 1934 1.5 ton Dodge that has been waiting patiently for it's turn... Alex: Hope you get some good information out of the last few years of me posting. Spent many hours researching some things, but on others I just pulled them out of my a#@$. Rob: Thanks for the photos of the tail lights. Know the ones I made weren't correct for the truck, but will hunt around and find some after the show later this month. Thanks again! David

Hi,
Been taking the C8 around to some of the local Texas MV events this spring. Have received a very positive response about the truck. Most folks here have never seen, or even heard of, a WW2 Canadian Military Pattern truck....now they have.  Going to hit a lot more of the local vintage car shows and try to educate some of them with my limited knowlege on the subject!  ....might even win a shiney plastic trophy or two in the process.Thanks, David Last edited by David DeWeese; 27-05-13 at 16:53.

Very well done......Congrats....
It does stand rather proud...... unique in it's color and its design.....
Only the better read individual with a leaning towards WW II would recognize it ealry appearance in the conflict. You have every right to be proud of the work you have done on that vehicle. Now go find some weird and unusual Italian high wheel arty tractor. Bob C.

David,
You should contact Mike O'Sullivan. He is just down the road at Cisco (halfway between you and Abilene). He has a yellow C15A which he drives everywhere. He took it from Istanbul to Normandy a couple of years ago. Worth a visit to look at his vehicles but also his workshop at the airfield where he builds 90% scale Spitfires. Give him a call at Supermarine Aircraft Lang

a yellow truck in a sea of olive drab....
Thanks Bob and Lang!
Bob, thank you for the kind reply. It's been kind of anticlimactic after finishing the C8, as I get a lot of positive responses on the truck, but it is out of their normal interest range....the sky is blue, the grass is green and army trucks are olive drab around here. Lang, thank you very much for the heads-up on Mike O'Sullivan. I found his website today and will certainly contact him. I did meet a man at Brent Mullins Open House that had a C15A, but I'm not certain it was him. Met Duncan Rolls, an Australian who reproduces the Bantam Jeeps and MLU's David Gordon at the same event, all fine gentlemen. Thanks, David edit: Lang: Yes, Mike was who I met. Had a nice conversation with him today... http://www.supermarineaircraft.com/ Last edited by David DeWeese; 01-06-13 at 06:17. Reason: added info

Well done mate - full marks from me as well....
Myself, Id be loving the fact that everyone else's is Olive Drab and your's is in Desert colours. Youre now the ambassador it seems for educating everyone down your way about Blitz's/CMP's amd their role in the biggest conflict of all time. A very worthwhile responsibility if I may say so... Looks like you've already got one trophy... and a well deserved one too. Keep the updates coming - Are you enjoying driving it???
