Great shots of the Outer Banks trucks!!!!!

Like you I'm a regular visitor of the NC Outer Banks, mainly Ocracoke Island at least once a year, if not twice.



The 66 Darley 4x4 Fire Truck at Ocracoke has been sold to collector in Virginia, it sat outside for several years. I offer a couple of times to buy them a cover for it, but it just sat outside until sold. Also the truck pictured on the badge / sign Ocracoke uses is the Dodge Military M37 they use to own. It too was sold a few years ago. I've got photos of the M37, I'll scan and post for you, plus an old Post Card that showed both Dodges & the old Ford lined up in front of the Light house.



I'll try to scan the photos this weekend.

Nollie,



Thanks for the update on the Dodge /Darley. I had heard it was for sale. Nice to hear it is in Virginia.



When I visited Ocracoke, the Dodge M37 was sitting near a home/business behind the fire station covered with a large tarp. I would love to see your photos of this piece, as well as the postcard. Please post them.



Thanks,



Mike Sanders
