At the end of May I picked up a 55ffpw.I chased the owner of the truck 8 years with "dogged determination" as the 78 year old owner put it.Willy owned the truck over 20 years.Anyway I went to an auction 3 weeks ago to bid on another pw,which I LOst out on.After the auction a fellow comes up to me and we talk pw's,he recognized me from about 10 years ago when I checked his out when he was selling his.This guy told me his was owned by the City of Winnipeg as a mosquitoe sprayer and described mine accurately as the sister truck 1 ser# off.Telltale signs 2 round marks on the bed floor from 45 gal drums of Malathion an unit # on the door jamb [#302].Cool.5 years ago I owned a 58 International L120 4x4 City of Winnipeg mosquitoe sprayer which I sold to my buddy which I seen today.When i told him the story I remarked they were probably stable mates over their early years. His reply, "mine has #303 stenciled on the door". Then I remembered that clearly after the memory refreshing .Cool!BTW going to Teulon truck pulls with one of the trucks August 16,17 if anybody in Manitoba is going.
