Thought I would share this with you.
Went to a very local "old trucks show" close to where we live. We had our last action in our museum, so I had to sneak out in the afternoon shortly to visit the event. Thanks to the rain, most trucks (9 out of 13) were out already. Too bad.
The small personell carrier is a 1954 Tatra 805
The other two pictures are of the most famous Praga V3S truck. You see that one still around here everywhere, often in agricultural work. This one has a prolonged bed adapted as a manuere spreader.
I always think of the Prage V3S as a US WW II truck with most of its nose shot off (or shortened to fit a small Skoda engine). Actually, it has a 98 HP Tatra 912-1 engine.
Nice youtube of a Praga going uphill.
