Snow Picture

I have four carosells of slides from the making of the Alaska Highway during WW II my uncle was an engineer on the project the views are just breathtaking. I know much of that is in Canada but I am still trying to find someone in Alaska that would like copies of them for historical purposes. Love your pictures take care and have fun in the cold.

Why not have viewpixmedia.com convert them to a digital format, HD even.

Here are some pictures of my 1965 Unimog radio truck and several friend's 404's. We are in route to Mt Evans, 14,250 ft summit in Colorado, to the Denver University Observatory up there on the top. We have done these trips for several years to allow the Univ crew to service their snow-bound equipment. Sometimes we make it, sometimes we don't, but we always try. That included manual chopping of snow and ice to give the trucks a place to stay on the side of the mountain. A serious mistake would send a truck thousands of feet down the talus slope.

Super Dave, your M37 looks fantastic. The hybird winter camo looks sharp. How does it ride on those tires? Do you get good traction with the XLs?

Hello Rockman

The tires have great traction as well as run great on the highway. The camo was installed on a large portion of the Canaidian M37 and the M152's in the early 70's by the military but unsure if it was winter specific or a regular camo sceme. Here is a picture of my iltis with the same tires.

Very interesting looking vehicle...I like it. I'd also agree that the M37 looks fantastic with those tires!

 

[Capt.Marion]

I like those XLs. What did you do for rims? I like!

 

[Superdave]

The rims are the wwII combat rims that are on the WC 3/4 ton trucks.

 

[Capt.Marion]

Cool, thanks. That means it is probably doable for someone like me!

So who says it doesnt snow in the desert?...this particular year our area had record snowfall..at our cities elevation (4400 ft) we got over 4 FEET and the foothills got between 5-7 FEET...the mountains 30 miles away got 10-15 FEET all from a 2.5 day storm!..felt adventurous so I took my M151 out to play..only 1 foot at this time....and it's true..military tread tires SUCK in the snow!!
