Interesting Alaska Trip Find

[Troganin]

I came across this '42 Dodge truck in the aviation museum in Anchorage, AK. It was in an outbuilding packed with planes. Enjoy.

Ya never know where the next oldie vehicle will turn up.

From the looks of the olive drab green paint, I would guess the Dodge

had once been a military vehicle. ???

Idk about ex military roots but Alaska seems to likes utility, so its possible. Sign on the fender reads:

"1942 Dodge 1 1/2 Ton Truck

From Hitchinbrook Island

Prince William Sound

11,000 actual miles, original tires, flathead 6, 4 speed, double clutch, 98% original, only four owners."

Same year the Alcan highway was started. Could be from the military while building.
