1940 International Harvester D2

From Alex Emond, in southern Saskatchewan:
"3 years ago I saw this truck in family garage in Neville, Sask. so I could only get a few cramped photos. Lo and behold,  I was snooping around Shaunavon on my drive back to Banff and saw the same truck in front of a house. The owner and his family had moved to start a new job. The truck is still not for sale, but I had to ask. Is begging a form of asking? This is my favourite truck out of the dozens of Saskatchewan relics that I have seen.
Looking mighty good for an 83-year-old machine. The owner's grandfather bought it new. It  runs... maybe needs the brakes worked on. A few days in a good shop and it could be back on the road. Those are the original colours but it has been repainted in places.
