Alcan Highway Vehicle

Thanks for that Steve

It is a better guess than anything so far.

It looks like it might have been repainted in service a couple of times. The ??POOL looks like first layer possibly when it was newly arrived before issue to the Area Engineer. The main writing looks like it has been done at least twice.


PS Could it be AREA POOL?

That begs the question : What in the h.. is an Alcan highway truck doing in Australia ?

seems far from the Alascan highway , doesn't it ?

It was driven here over the AustraLiaCANada (ALCAN) Highway before global warming melted the ice bridge.

Another explanation might be I bought it in USA and did a lot of work at a friend's place in Texas before shipping it home.

That would explain it indeed.

A beautiful truck btw.

Absolutely awesome and with a great history of service .

The AlCan highway was a great human endeavour and is still in use today as the main land link to Alaska through Canada.

War is not always about destruction , pain and suffering .

Bev and I drove the ALCAN Highway a few years ago in something smaller than a Carryall.
