Photos of my trips to Frank's place...
These are photos of various vehicles and MV related items that I have taken while visiting Frank at his place in Eastern North Carolina. Frank is is retired from active duty in the USMC...
If you have questions about any of these photos, send me an email and I'll try to provide an answer or will put you in touch with the truck's owner.
These are some photos that I took when I went to Frank's to pick up a M101A1 3/4 ton trailer for a buddy and some stuff for my collection in 2002.
