I have seen photos of the only known remaining jeeps in a crate. the crate is somewhat deteriorated and the jeeps are a little worse for wear. IMO

I failed to mention the reason for the condition of these jeeps. They are 240 feet under water.

Thanks, but nothing in the pictures on that add indicates that is the CORRECT tire chain for a WWII jeep as pictured in the RAPD layout of the same.

I DO see "Camp Shelby" on the box, but that's not really sufficient for a big money lay out.

There were chains made by Weed commercially available for the 6.00x16 tire. I have 4. The cross chain AND circumference link counts both differ, making them functional for the job, but incorrect.
