We used to see this truck on display back when I was going to old car shows with my 38 Chevy. It was on a huge car hauler in a parking lot. The new looking dually pickup truck pulling the rig had its hood up and had tools , gallons of fluids and God knows what all laying around the truck. We did our shopping and had lunch, it was still there when we left. Photo is from a cellphone in the rain.

I drove a different model truck for a month. The roof over the cab was hinged to help keep the driver cool, there was no driver's side door – it was solid body, and the passenger side was wide open. The cab floor was bare metal, which let the sunlight bounce into your eyes, and there was a govener on the motor – there was no way the truck could go over 40 MPH. (And to get to my route I had to drive on a hiway.) Company policy was we sold ice cream and nothing else, so all the kids went for Colonial Maid, Danny Boy, or Mr. Softee with their additional snacks and rewards.
Then I looked at my bank account and realized I was losing money at this job! Bye!
