Seen in Juneau, SE Alaska in 1982. At the time, there were no roads that connected
land-locked Juneau, the state capital, with the outside world, eg. the Pan-American
Highway, and the only way in or out was by boat, like the ferry that shuttles between
Seattle and Juneau, or by air. Consequently, Alaskans are more likely to own and to travel
by a float plane than by car. So trucks like this one would have been short-haul affairs on
the limited roads in and around the capital and to Douglas Island, across the Gastineau
Channel. Before the days of strict health and safety rules (largely ignored anyway in the
far north, where more serious rules apply), this would have been an operational truck - a
small hole in the windscreen would not have bothered anyone, even at 30 below.
