I just had a quick business trip to Saskatoon, Saskatchewan. A little over 5 hours drive each way for me. I stopped at this collection of "projects" on the side of the highway. The guy's wife said he doesn't like letting anything get crushed, and he's made a business of selling cars and parts. A lot of the stuff was rough and prices were all over the place. It was awesome to walk around one of these troves of projects again. I have the guys card if anyone sees anything they have to have. :p

I have about 65 more photos I'll upload later.

You ain't the only one Crate! :(

I would love to have that 20's-30's Packard sedan, that would make a nice luxo rod!

SnoPro, what is a Maple Leaf? A Canadian brand? Cab looks a lot like a Ford or GMC.

Maple Leaf trucks were heavy duty General Motors trucks assembled in Canada from 1930-1948. They used the Maple Leaf brand in Canada to build the illusion of a local brand. Maple Leaf used Chev and GMC parts. Most commonly Maple Leaf trucks were 1.5 ton or bigger. Basically they were Chev or GMC trucks often with a slightly different grille and a Maple Leaf name plate.

For instance, on this truck, the cab is exactly the same as a 1939/1940 Chev/GMC.

You know this is pure torture showing this stuff when I already have to many irons in the fire :eek:
So that is where all the old farm trucks went [S
The 34 Hudson works for me, another 4dr to make into a cool 2dr. [;)[;):)
 
Thank you Snopro, for the pictures. Dad had a 1947 [I think] Maple Leaf and he told the history almost the same as you told it, but he was under the illusion that it was a local owned truck at the first.
ZZ, If you don't buy that puppy today, she'll be goooone tomorrow.

Actually, ZZ, I'm in the same boat as you are, too many projects, too little time.

To quote his wife "he's a truck guy and a Ford guy." Not everything is in great shape, but it's cool to see it all together.
