Looks like the Beverly Hillbillies are moving to my part of the woods!

I love it and would be proud to drive a rig like that.

I saw that one at an antique tractor show. The interior was amazing, it was period to the truck. It looked like the bath tub was under the sofa. I'll try to find the pictures. . .

That looks like it would be very simular to the one libby's great uncle traveled in, he was born in the late 1840's and pretty much was a bum all his life traveling and playing music at barn dances, he eventually went to a horse drawn box camper that he lived in to a model T style but the same thing, he lived in it and traveled, he married libby's great aunt Ellie Manners and she finally got him to settle down somewhat and even got him a job as a fiddler on the Grand Old Opry, back in the 1920's, figured it would be an hour a day that he wasn't drinking lol, wrong again, he plunked his bottle down on a stool and continued to wet his whistle while he played on the radio, he can be googled and his camper found at Uncle Jimmie Thompson, kinda along the same lines.

Libby's mother was from Laguardo, just outside of nashville, Ellie was her grandfathers sister, her grandfather, Harry Manners was known as "the Major" owned the better share of the town back during the depression, according to her mom, he "stole" it during the depression by being part banker and part tax collector.  Somewhere I've seen a picture of his camper, it was just a box with a stove pipe sticking out of it with a door and windows on the back of an old truck, the amazing part of the whole thing to me is that we have recordings of him playing his fiddle, to actually hear a recording of someone playing a fiddle and realize that person was born in the 1840's just boggles my mind, at the rhyman they have recordings of his voice, it is just so amazing to me to sit and listen to him talk, knowing that he had lived thru the civil war, actually was 2 young to sign up at a soldier.  His fiddle is claimed to be on display at the museum in the old ryman, the fiddle on display is not his tho, libby's mother has the actual fiddle he played it was handed down thru the family, he may have played the fiddle on display, I don't know but it wasn't his personal one, we have that one.

I think it's totally cool! Only one thing I can think is wrong, not enough room for all our crap!

Neat history cody, not all of us can say that!

Pretty cool indeed. I wonder what it has for power. It looks like a 1 ton type truck front suspension. Probably has the donor pickup's power plant. Later
