hi hanno

i noticed that this was a new vehicle, no tell tale dents, or any other sign of ever being used. for the purpose of standardization, i can certainly understand the United States wanting canada to use the dodge, because when fighting side by side, it makes cense to be equipped alike. as for cold climate use, i think of the lend lease cmp's made for russia, with their in cab heaters, not to mention the heat radiating from the dog house, and a real, steel cab surround to keep the elements out. for this purpose, we would have been nuts to switch to the wc. don't get me wrong, i like o.d. canvas as much as the next guy....but not at -40.

mike
