It's a tough looking truck (warning: large pictures)

Post by mikkelborg »

I've been working on the truck and driving it for my own sanity lately. My latest project has been the weather stripping around the doors and a seat kit. I've also been getting the truck out for some regular exercise. It has been a blast to drive around the back roads out here. Anyways, I have combined my truck interests with another hobby of mine, photography. I've been using an old cannon FT and it just so happened that I remembered to take my camera along on my last few drives. It also just so happened that I had a roll of black and white in the camera and that M37's look pretty darn cool in black and white, so I thought I'd share.

Thanks for looking,

(I couldn't find any rules against big pictures, if these are too big please let me know and I will resize. I wanted to keep the quality, and big pictures are neat?)

I took the shots on Railroad Ave. in Lewiston, Idaho. I have a few more in the same place and some pictures of an M60, with my M37 in the background in color that I have not had developed yet.

Thanks!

If your truck had the stock NDT tires on it I wouldn't have been able to tell if it was 2010 or 1955.....Nice work all around!
M37s are HMMWV in my world!
