Those Gmc trucks moved piggyback,  I note the puller is equipped with a wonderful GMC V6.   Must of been wonderful on hills with that gutless wonder.  Or it was on the ones I drove,  which included a 28 passenger school bus.

USS Okinawa, a US Navy amphibious assault ship, unloaded A4 Skyhawks for the RNZAF at Auckland in May 1970.



They were then towed 15 miles to Whenuapai (RNZAF Base Auckland) by road, a slow and tricky process, with trolley bus overhead cables and various other obstacles on the roads, but by evening all the aircraft had arrived safely.

This picture is not dated, it is of The Brooklyn Rapid Recking tool car. Brooklyn Rapid Tranist 1896-1923. It’s a glass negative which explains the crystal clear shot. It’s so clear you could smell the car, look at this tools...you know who ever used those tools, treated them as if he owned them personally. You could eat off that floor.
