Wreckers and ambulances were not missing, Jeeps were leading the way. Half way's stop catered white beans in tomato sause and black coffee!
All done in respect for the Red Bal, Express drivers...........

Re: Red Ball Express Truck Drivers honored........
I was snowed in today......not often I can say that, as I live on the coast of North Carolina. I watched the video twice today, it was that good. Where did that group find that many Ben Hur trailers? They must give them out as door prizes!

For € 200 ($250) you easily buy a restorable trailer. A BH Trailer belongs to the standard GMC or Dodge accessorie, as they are used for sleeping or tent-transport.

I have had about 3 Ben Hur trailers. My current one is a very nice 1945 wooden Ben Hur found in Norway. That is just a great video of that many trucks towing trailers.

PS, the second Ben Hur trailer I owned was one sat up to be towed by a Dodge weapons carrier as it had a spare tire carrier under the bed. I had to sell it when I got orders to Japan.
