There are literally hundreds a bit a way from you. Just north of Gulfport
Mississippi, on the west side of the highway leading north outa Gulfport
there is a lot that is full of postwar Zil, Rober, & other Eastern Bloc
trucks. . Fella bought about a thousoand v over there after the fall of
the all. Had some shipped to Gulfpost & ohters all the way to
California. Then the chitski hit the fanski. EPA apparently told him no
way. They have aircooled diesel engines & CAN NEVER hit the road. Not
event to be sold at all. Every year they have to be inventoried.
Apparently they have been able only to get rid of a few, mostly to Army
bases for target practice or such. Cool trucks, some look like WWII
Dodge's. Some are van types, soem tractors, but mostly cargo trucks. I
eman there musta been over 200 there in teh weeds, growing mold. A lot
had a central tire inflation system. They even had trailers FULL of
spare parts there. What a waste.
Now, maybe as a film deal you coudl get some....
Dunno. SOMEWHERE I have contact info for the owners. Last time I went
by there I lucked out & the gate was open & one of the employee's of the
company was there.
Good luck, Steve
