Nice picture of the compressor truck. That is the 1st compressor truck I've seen with a ring mounted 50. cal, it looks sharp and sets the truck off nicely.
I like the pioneer tools out for use and display. Hand tools are the forgotten tools that were the backbone of tools available to soldiers. Cause heavy equipment was not always available when needed, or it broke or went down before the job was compleated (trust me as a former combat engineer this I know) so the rest of the job had to be done by hand with shovels, picks and axes and demo cause the mission had to be completed.
Never driven a compressor CCKW before but I'm sure it's like driving a fully loaded CCKW all the time. Alot of downshifting and no land speed records set driving to the "site".
Nice trucks and great picture.
