- Still not as sad a sight as these here. Hope the driver was okay.

trucks are pretty safe except against other trucks. immovable objects and roll overs

lots of weight and little cab structure, especially on military trucks that old. the rations likely held up much better than the driver. even if the passenger side took the brunt everything inside that cab is pointy and metal

Couldn't have aged worse, but man, still fascinating as all heck. Loving the idea of the planters haha
All the best, Gents.
