Looks nice, but almost unbearable in every type of weather except mild summer or spring days. In direct sun its a medieval sweat box and in winter a meat freezer. Near impossible to sleep in during rainstorms due to noise. Aluminum worse than the heavy steel ones. Could not wait to get it off my 54.

If it were mine, I'd line it with adhesive-backed insulation just like guys do to their cab roofs. That would solve both the noise and temperature issues.

That might work but an all metal camper still is at the mercy of temp and sun. Worth a try.

Some decent parts/cores, including an "experienced" leather interior for upgrading somebody's project if interested:

Back in the fifties and sixties there were a lot of house trailers manufactured in Georgia and trucks like this were used to deliver them to the buyers. Before interstates came along it was very common to see them on the road and really irritating to get behind one on a hilly road. I've always thought these tugs looked cool and maybe would be fun to drive.

dsraven · 08-13-2020, 05:46 PM

I guess you call that a 1 ton dually short box, haha. looks like it would turn end for end easy on a slippery road.

**mr48chev** · 08-13-2020, 10:45 PM

That was probably from the 10X 40 or 10X 50 days. The shack shakers were a bit heavier duty in the 70's when I was working on them at a Ryder truck rental shop.

They cut AD trucks down like that around here to use to pull trailers to pick hops with to haul them to the kilns. Some hop growers had fleets of 50 or so of them.

That's a cool roofline! I wonder if it was an ambulance?

**Steeveedee** · 08-16-2020, 11:18 PM

I showed this to the wife earlier. Got some guff, mainly over the price, which is pretty good, given the condition stated.Maybe if I won the lottery. I'd love to have this in the driveway.

other than the army, there were no ambulances till the late 60s
if there was a wreck the cops called the undertaker, if the vic was dead they kept them
if the vic was alive, they'd transport them to the hospital or doc
big cites might have been different, i grew up in podunk wi

Looks to be a 4100 but 650 for a decent looking 49 cab with original paint still on it might be pretty interesting to some 25 miles from me.

**mr48chev** · 09-15-2020, 01:40 AM

I'm assuming each but the guy has TWO TF big window trucks.
https://yakima.craigslist.org/pts/d/...186662551.html

It's probably a real good thing that I don't have any money and any space to store them as I have had a bad want for a 56 Big window since the early 70's.

I am pretty sure I know the guy who has those and he buys and sells and trades all the time.
