Thank god its not an Easy Co. 506th cckw. Seems like Everyone is Easy 506th since Band of Brothers.... You would think the 101st won the war by themselves with their two combat jumps. The 82nd already had two combat jumps and fought in two theatre's by the time the 101st desided to got into the war.
Ooops sorry went on a tangent there..... But is is a nice lookin truck and I like the Marston Mat panels on the sides, nice touch. I wonder where he found them. And a great photo. Two thumbs up. Even if it is a 101st truck.

Yes very nice indeed. Funny but I too was thinking of going AAA with my 352. Is that a hint of a No 7 set out of the rear canvas?

We have Marston Matting available here in the UK, but you pay the postage!

If you could throw a couple marston mat sections in an envelope and mail them to me I'd appreciate it, let me know what a 1st class stamp costs in the UK. and I'll send you the postage...
And good eye, I missed the end of the boom peeking out the back.
