Not my cup of tea, but I am sure he loves it. Not going to see another one any time soon just like it. Brings to mind the old saying; "there's an a** for every seat".

If I wasn't running it tight for a meeting, I would have stopped to really check it out. Unfortunately, it was gone when my meeting ended. I'd love to hear the horns!

Do you need a Tugboat Skipper's rating to operate that thing?

hamjet · 08-26-2015, 09:44 PM

You have to appreciate all the personal touches, he's happy..

Well, Rolling Thunder it is. Nice Tim.
It's safe to say he won't ever lose his truck in a parking lot.

**special-K** · 08-28-2015, 06:56 AM

Thanks Tim, I have that song "convoy " stuck on a loop in my head now...

I like the truck, has a lot of personality.

BossHogg69 · 08-28-2015, 10:28 AM

I'm usually not a big fan of scallops, but that truck is period correct awesomeness!

**special-K** · 08-30-2015, 08:47 AM

Now "there's" a truck that looks like it "should" have stacks!

**davischevy** · 08-30-2015, 01:07 PM

A little off subject, but can you imagine sleeping in that sleeper going down the road.

I pulled a sleeper like that off a Kodiak a few years ago and after looking at it all I could think of was, coffin.

That guy obviously loves that truck, and I'm happy as hell for him. We need to support each other's taste here.

**'68OrangeSunshine** · 08-30-2015, 04:38 PM

This thread has me thinking about putting CBs back in my Rigs. Over.

No, but I'll bet the owner wears a white canvas jacket. You know, the kind with the sleeves that cross in the front and strap behind his back with buckles.

I dunno. Maybe he slips out of it when he has to steer, shift and modulate his Mic.

Redline novdog · 08-30-2015, 05:59 PM

That's a whole lotta truck stuffed in there. Could that be a 1ton fifth wheel old school road truck gone awry?

**HIGHWAY BY THE SEA** · 08-30-2015, 06:51 PM

I used to have a 1986 Chevy box van (minus the box) with a sleeper like that on it and a dually truck bed. Wish I could build one like that!
