Default Who owns this truck?

Hi,
Was looking through some old photos I have that came from my deceased friend Carl Tong's home in Montana, and found these. His brother is the one that gave me the C8. Don't know how old the photos are.
Any idea where it is now, or who owns it?
Thanks, David

the truck is one of the real early production 11 cabs with no vents.

It's an F15 with added towing 'D's.

(Sorry David, I know this doesn't help much in the identity of the owner, but it looks like quite a gem).

I believe that was Rick Yuke's truck, from Moose Jaw. It was a nice unit, he had the wooden box on it, and had made a nice repro of the tarp. As I recall, it eventually found it's way onto the TransCanada highway with a for sale sign on it in the late 90s, and quickly found it's way to Alberta. As I recall, the serial number was somewhere in the F5000 range. If someone has a copy of the late/great Peter Ford's infoex around, it was listed in there.

Thanks a lot for the responses! So that was Rick's truck? Met him once at Carl's years ago, and spoken to him since then about parts, but didn't know he was really in to the CMP's. Real nice guy and a damn nice truck he had!
Thanks again, David
