Ola People

Yes the Spoiling continues. Today I also posted the pics I shot of all the GMC 2,5 ton trucks (the world famous Deuce and a halfs) that were standing in the Wings of Liberation Museum in Best (a small town near Eindhoven) Quite some variants of wich I don`t know all. Nice vehicles. I hope you guys like them.

the GMC pictured is a rare US airbourne split chassis GMC-CCKW 353. This truck "splits" just behind the cab and the rear body also "splits" in half. Two C47 or DC3 Dakota planes were required to airlift one complete truck.

Better yet , this truck is a dump from the looks of the box and the release handle . That has to be rare . An airborn dump truck !

Ola Guys

No problems I`m glad these pics come to purpose and I`m glad you can use them

Next will be a series of walkarounds I shot of other vehicles in the Wings of Liberation Museum

Wow....superb shots FAUST! I especially like the 'repair/workshop'? version. The one with all the shelves and boxes with the open top and cage at the rear....great stuff!
