Truck was exported from a farmer in Kansas (Berryton, KS 66409) to Schotland end 2006/early 2007. In 2011 the truck was bought by someone living in Tilburg, The Netherlands, who transported it to The Netherlands, disassembled the vehicle completely, after which the frame was sandblasted and coated. The project soon stalled, after which the current owner bought it in a disassembled state in march 2015.
From then on, the restoration of the truck started again. It is now (may 2019) in the final stages. The aim is to have it completed by the end of august of 2019, so it can join the remembrance tours for Operation Market Garden (75 years ago).
