Re: 1991: CT to Alaska in a '67 C10
I don't have a picture of that truck now. I'll have to get one. The last one I have is of it pulling home its next bed!
Also here's his family's Grumman 292-powered "motor home":

Re: 1991: CT to Alaska in a '67 C10
Shaky,
Wow----what a trip down memory lane! I drove my 1972 blazer to Alaska the same year ( 1991 ). I worked on an offshore rig in Cook Inlet and stayed in Kenai during my week off. I worked 7 days on and 7 off. I drove a lot of the same roads you did! I miss Alaska! ps check out my bumper sticker, it is hard to read and says " I crossed the arctic circle in the land of the midnight sun". Thanks for the pictures. john

Re: 1991: CT to Alaska in a '67 C10
Sweet pics. Those are a part of history to still have them all this time. Remember, 1991 was a time where there were no digital cameras and we still had film to take to the local store to get developed. Hahahaha!! Also, the shots of the land, animals, etc were so beautiful. Wow!!!!!!!!

There's less old iron now! He stopped by to help me strip my C20 cab. I was lucky he didn't try to take it!
