Ak Miller is well-known for some real odd-ball race combinations, propane
power vehicles, hill climb racers etc. I have documentation on most of the
GMC racing history (including the early 50's Indy qualifying efforts) but
the GMC powered AD truck is a new one on me. To my knowledge, Miller is
still alive, that would certainly be an interesting story if true.
