That is really cool! But I bet it was lucky to make it to 15 mph what with all that weight!

It has forma-truck gearing fitted so that's about all it would anyway.

Good photos of the custom build too. Note the photos of the engine compartment, the plug wires are a bit aged now :o

And only high head bolts were found during restoration, as they have spacers to be used on that low cylinder head!

You will not need a slow moving vehicle sign for that, you will need a "Slow Moving House" sign. :lol:

That is a neat camper!

LOL, and when it got towed, it became the worlds' first 5th wheel.
