Here's my military truck. The running gear is a Reo Motors M-34 6x6. The truck was modified with the International cab to accomodate the cold winters. This truck may have been used on the construction of the Alaska hyway. Their out there and if anyone knows of any let me know, I'am always interested. I also have a M-37 Dodge powerwagon.

This one is a 1951 M-37 Dodge Powerwagon. Military trucks are cool, everything about them is purpose built. There is a receptical on the drivers side to jump start airplanes or tanks. I feel it is important to keep these old guys around as that's what made our country free and supports the people who fought for it. :beer: I love Olive Drab Green, should paint my sled that shade!

That PowerWagon is cool, a 12 valve cummins under the hood would make it even cooler.

Back in the 80's I worked with a guy who was into those. His daily driver was the ambulance that they show on the start of the MASH TV show. Very cool.
