Alaska Road Commission

Cookman Collection #1

June 8, 1939

This summer image shows a quartering front end view of a truck with dual axels and dual tires in the rear and loaded with five large bridge timbers lashed to each side and extending from in front of the cab to well back of the bed. The truck is standing in foreground on a gravel road seen curving out of sight beyond. Heavy forest with large trees forms the backdrop next to the road at left and in the background at right. A sedan with a "rumble seat", or open compartment in the back, is on the road at right beyond the truck facing away from the camera.
