Default Ford F15 4x2 Cab 11 in Canada?

Anyone who recognises this Cab 11 F15? Judging by the number plate, it is a vehicle registered in Canada?

Apparently, it was advertised on the Military Vehicles Sales & Appraisal Service at one time.

Thanks,
Hanno

The plates appear to be a Saskatchewan truck. Looks like one of the MooseJaw gang, but none of them have had trucks in over 10 years and in some cases 20. The Dunlop trac-grip ferret tires were available in that area back then. If I had to guess, I would almost say it was Rick Yuke's truck. Last I heard it went to Alberta.

Hi Rob,
I think you hit the nail on the head with your guess....look at the plate.

Old photo from Carl's....said to be Rick's truck.

Thanks, David

I'll have to show this thread to the wife: Looks like I was right for once.

Thanks for ID-ing this F15 guys!

So the next question is: who owns her now?

Last I had heard from Rick he had taken it out to a farmer's place along the transCanada highway where it was set up in the yard with a for sale sign. A couple Albertan's were heading by with a trailer, saw it, made a phone call or two and bought it. Off it headed to Alberta.

It was a nice early truck somewhere in the 5000 serial range if I recall. Someone with a copy of Peter Ford's infoex could likely confirm that.

OK, one solved.

Now, who owned/owns this F15A that was recently on E-bay in the Vancouver area? Again, it also looks to be a very low serial number truck.

One comment on the Yuke truck. I'd question the square roof hatch on a non-vent Cab 11.
