hopefully this works. it's only a view of the left and front of the unit. some info about the wreck also...

if you click on the "Charles Crow" on the upper right of the page it links to an email address. on the link i posted it says that there are more pictures of the unit on that guy's website. maybe you can email him for more pictures or a web address. let me know how you make out...

Im looking for info and pictures on the Rock Island GP40 # 4710. It started life as a normal GP40 in the red and yellow paint of the early 70's but at one point it was wrecked and had the cab rebuilt and painted in the blue and white but the the rest of the long hood was left in the red and yellow. I have seen the few pics on the net there is of this one in a million unit but i need a good left and right side view . I have an undecorated geep just screaming for this paint job[:D]
