1952 Chevrolet Truck & Saskatchewan Wheat Pool

Alex Emond, our man in the prairie provinces, found this 1952 Chevrolet grainer last summer in southern Saskatchewan, Canada's national wildlife preserve for old trucks, and home of the first (1944) democratic socialist government in North America.
The '52 Chevy grainer we drove from Banff to the Rio Grande looks like the same truck. A lot of the grainers lasted a long time because they were used infrequently---hauling grain to the bins at harvest time, or to the Saskatchewan Wheat Pool elevators in town.
