Thank you Dave, Shinpachi and Vic your comments are greatly appreciated. Thanks Dave for telling me that the truck was a Dodge, I wasn't' sure what make it was, there was barbed wire around it so I could not see the front. Shinpachi the Dodge truck may be operational the tires looked pretty good.

I am pretty sure that's an old Power Wagon and those are military "lug" tires.

I have noticed that the old rubber tires from those years (through the 60's) resisted deterioration much better than tires of later years.

The first photo is a Dodge Power Wagon. Had a flat six and four speed. TUFF as nails. Some were built for the military during and after WWII.

Dandelions are popping up all over, thought I would break out the Macro and take some shots before I get rid of them.

I have named the photo "Storm" from Vivaldi's Storm. Just my impression.
Good work, Merv!

Thanks Terry, Wayne, Shinpachi, David, Aaron and Hugh greatly appreciated. I wish I could be at Travis AFB Saturday and get some shots of that Russian Tupolev Tu-154M-LK-1 that is doing a surveillance check on our armed forces

Well anyway, Saturday the Planes of Fame flew the Aichi "Tora, Tora" Val and I grabbed some shots of her.

Looks like you had some excellent lighting for the Val, which is not real common at Chino. Nicely captured.

Thanks Eric, the weather turned out really nice I wish there were a few clouds for a back drop. Thanks Shinpachi, I think I posted the wrong one I had a better shot of the third one but clicked the wrong one
