What is the point of this ugly thing?

He's doing his thing, and built a truck that he loves? What's wrong with that?

Oh, and its not ugly, just different.

 

Too much

Who cares?????

 

Most likely, the original owner probably spec'ed truck for a dromedary truck-tractor operation for high cube requirements such as baked goods, styrofoam, casket, furniture, etc. This owner-op or someone before him removed the original"dromedary box" that was originally mounted toon the chassis, behind the cab.These trucks are cheap on the use equipmentd market thereore a good starter unit for an owner-op and I think they look pretty cool in a retro kinda way.

 

With a 53' trailer it has to be pushing the length limit.

I see them hauling rebar out here with it over hanging on both ends.

 

You know back in the day people steched them out to look good and they went as far as he did to haul special boxes on the frame. normally dinomite or other high explosive for transport to government places or coal mines....just saying

 

Back in the day, fuel used to be a lot cheaper than what it is today........well, that is, if all that jive about keeping the gap between the trailer and the sleeper as little as possible for better fuel economy is true.

 

I still stretch them out....soon as tree season stops my classic goes in for 3 more feet in it....lol

 

He is setting the truck up to load a Smart car. I have seen a few smart cars loaded sideways and pulling a 5 th wheel RV.

 

Look up "dromedary truck".
