Always wondered where it ended up…

Here it is at the Bruce County farmhouse shortly before it was passed on to you.

May I ask a few questions…??

You talked about doing a brake job..
How were the front brakes when you got it.?
Probably toast by that time..Was it a total brake rebuild…?

To be honest..cough…cough….when you are running on original Run Flat tires that are flat..you don't really need a lot of help from the brakes to slow you down…cough cough.

Dennis.

Thanks for the retro pic. We've crossed the line back in time to black and white I see.

How were the brakes? (don't worry, I shan't be coming after you for a refund after all these years...) Yes a total rebuild, my first ever. The bright side was that because the brakes were so bad I became an expert in down shifting.

Here's another pic from my late 1970's album showing the 15cwt's original number. The MB went to a guy in Manitoba (Robert Rosteki?) in trade for an 11 cab Ford 15cwt.
