  DROVE HOME FROM ANCHORAGE IN 1957,,TO NORTHERN OHIO. IN AIR FORCE AND TRANSFERRING TO SAN ANTONIO FOR MY LAST YEAR. DROVE A 55 FORD PANEL TRUCK, 6 CYLINDER, STICK SHIFT. ONLY PROBLEM WAS A FLAT TIRE AT THAT TIME PART(1500 MILES) OF THE ALCAN WAS GRAVEL AND TONS AND TONS OF DUST. I WOULD LIKE TO DO IT AGAIN BUT TOO OLD NOW.

HAVE A SAFE TRIP AND ENJOY ALL OF IT. REALLY LOOKING FORWARD TO YOUR DAILY REPORTS.

  Well, I did it. 5,000 miles in 12 days without a hitch. Full report with pictures still at above link on the Ford Barn. Just posted these two videos putting you in the driver's seat (or out on the running board, as the case may be):
