I wish the picture was more of a closeup. This picture comes from Florida Memory.

“Hillsborough County Health Dept. Mosquito Control project fogging for pests. Early mosquito control spraying consisted of making a “thermal fog,” in which hot diesel oil was mixed with a DDT solution and then vaporized.”

I spotted this Ford GP set up to lay wire (according to the caption). I’m not sure what pix “D-575” is.

“New 1/4-ton “bantam” truck being used for wire-laying during demonstration at Fort Myer, Virginia. For more complete data, see caption for pix D-575″

This is supposed to have an original welding unit.  This is rare enough that the M38A1 site doesn’t have a picture of one. There was supposed to be one at the Ponderosa Ranch.

“M38A1 Willys welding variant used during korean war. Frame off, lots of parts. 95% complete, come get the only one known to exist in the USA. No looky loos. Call or contact for more pictures. (206) 713-7799 – Richard”
