Vehicle History

A Dodge 1 1/2 ton truck was donated to the museum in 2004 by Dwayne Leech of Nanton, AB. It is pictured above as received. The lower inset photo shows the letters, RCAF C1H9-C42 that were painted on the driver-side door. The truck needs a front axle and a full set of tires, but otherwise it is complete and restorable.
The truck's history is not known, but it is assumed to have been used on a base here in southern Alberta. The Society will be looking into the possibility of a government grant to help restore this vintage vehicle.
Our belated THANKS to Dwayne Welsh for donating this wartime truck.
