    G749 Trucks hard to come by

    Does that beast have the REB shift kit on it? Over use maybe? I mean they were originally designed to select a gear and go. This part likely wasn't upgraded. If the constant shifting is hard on them it would be good to know. You're ready for snow right? We think it's time for some snow photos.

    G749 preservation

    Scariest bird in Canada Gate Grouse guarding the grounds. Their tactic is frightening. They sit in one spot until you're on top of them. If a person's awareness isn't up, it can cause quite a fright. This is the scariest bird in Canada.

    G749 preservation

    Fall of 2019 The edge of the boreal forest is less than 100 miles away but we're lucky enough to be in good soil. You'd think I could spot a Combine in the last week but I guess most areas aren't dry or ripe enough yet. They're cutting it close with the forecast we have rolling in. Looks like...

    1962 IHC dump truck opinions needed

    M51 use I poked around a little and found out the M51 was used in project EASE way back in the day. That's a Cold War bunker builder type truck. The green guru boys dropped a bit of history on the different places the M51 may have been located or used. Just mentioning the rare M51 stirred a few...

    Rocky Mountain House Is "Carla's Perogies" still around? Carla was out south on 22 right next to the creek and sold hamburger perogies locally. If you're in Rocky you know Shirley. lol. Good memories out there and you're in fine company. Rod is near Eckville and is one of the hardest digging...

    1962 IHC dump truck opinions needed

    Hey Alberta, drop a town name in your location line so I know how far I need to tow that truck to get it home. By the looks of the trees you're either near the foothills or up north. The tamarac suggests the boreal forest and the grass says the 53rd parallel. lol. Adding a nearby town lets us...

    Guilty Pleasure

    Did they get rid of the felt liners in the wheel wells? It looked like they went back to straight steel with the customer option on coatings. Nice truck. I'm waiting for the new one to come out with the seat that sniffs my farts and tells me what I'm missing in my diet. This one drives like...

    WWII Veteran visits G749 farm My good friend is lucky enough to have his 97 year old Dad around still and today this WW11 Veteran paid a visit to the G749 farm. He's still sharp, has a good memory of a busy life and spent a bit of time just gazing at Goose. "Wish we had these when I was in"...

    Did you get a new letter yet? This issue forced me to learn just enough French to make the girls giggle. "Hello, the 'c' plate must go in the toilet." https://www.thefrenchexperiment.com/ bonjour, la plaque 'c' doit aller dans les toilettes. Once again, what a cool reception from the...

    Here's a little snippet below of a letter of support to the transportation minister of Quebec. That poor lad has tough decisions to make all day long. Offering him a ton of support to build confidence on reinstating Historical Military Vehicles could make his day easier. I asked for his position...

    You may need to represent many people that couldn't be there, but you won't be alone. Responses like the reply from tourism are starting to cut into my travel plans. They didn't leave a toll free number but if it's a local number in Quebec, maybe the folks nearby can check to see if their...

    I haven't heard back from Tourism Quebec and time is clicking by. If anyone has future plan to travel to Quebec in a Historical Vehicle that might have been used by the military at one time, Quebec Transport would still like to see it. They're not sure why they want to see it but they gave...

    Reasonable, logical, responsible The radar is on folks. Looks like group A is meeting with the Quebec Transportation Minister. The MV restriction issue needs to be resolved quickly and withdrawn without delay. With our thoughts on the people facing severe weather on the East coast and the...

    Do you fellas have a "travel bureau", AAA or travel agency that would recommend a travel route through Canada from West to East? They are very helpful with giving away a free map and drawing a line on it to guide you to your destination. They give away brochures of all the places to see...

    This is harder than it should be. They put a bunch of real sweet ladies on as front-line operators and their French accents are so distracting its hard to focus. They start off in French but they all speak English. I called the Quebec Tourism Ministers office to find out which vehicles I...

    The other specialty car clubs out East need to get a sniff of this and sign in. I see you're already using that hot blood to fill the face book,.... very nice. Would that pretty artist lady you know have any ideas for HMV promotional posters? Many of the club contacts I've called don't know...

    Defining vehicle restrictions You nailed a part of the problem. Good legislators reduce public backlash by doing their homework. No 'legal' definitions or lists are available. Definitions usually come at the top of the list. When i suggested we bring the 1966 bus to Quebec they asked if it...

    I was correct for a change. The transportation minister's representative asked me to send pictures and measurements.......you read what I typed....pics and dimensions of any of the vehicles I'd like to visit Quebec with. Emails weren't getting returned and the letters likely have not arrived so...
