Artifact History:	Unknown

Artifact Condition:	This vehicle is a light truck. It had a wooded bed inside of metal support frames. The side frames or railings are lying on the seabed. One of these is broken with a piece laying near the rear. These side pieces are also metal frame works that possibly had wooden interiors. It may have been a stake bed truck. All wheels are present and were white walls. Hefty spokes can be seen the rear wheel, so it may have been for heavier loads. Cab is still present, but only to door height indicating it was likely a soft top or very lightly built. Hefty fenders but appears to only have one set of rear wheels.

Additional Information:	Only one capture from the video in this survey as the sub did not stop but only hovered briefly and moved on. There are numerous vehicles in this area. There is another smaller vehicle within 5-10 meters away. It was not added to inventory because survey of it was not clear.
