Add a coat of yellow gloss. And maybe a bumper in the rear. With one of
those nasty trailer hitches that hang out the back to spear rice rockets.

Pain't roller, couple of foam brushes, canary yellow paint, no
prob. I'd be very tempted to put on a bumber made out of a section of
railroad track - and brake frequently when i look in my rearview mirror
and can't even see the bumper on the car behind me.

The yellow gloss would help me stay away from that hitch.

Personally, I love riding a 600 pound pony with 150 horses.
Problem is, that an idiot, who doesn't quite shave yet, and still
says: Dooooode!!!", barely 16, can ride one of those crotch rockets.
It is NOT the guy with the 976 Duc...

He'll run into something he can't go under or through eventually.
Those things are _huge_--won't go under most underpasses or through
most tunnels or down many two lane streets between buildings.

If you've never seen one up close and personal, they're something to
see. I've got a whole bunch of pictures of this one
http://farm2.static.flickr.com/1126/...46507ee6_b.jpg that I
need to put up--it's no longer in service, it's now an ornament in a
park in Fermont, QC. The hubs of the wheels are at about eye level.

Nowadays, English isn't about nouns, verbs, and silly bulls. They quit
that stuff when I was in 7th grade. It's Literature acadamia's
interested in. "Improper" language is ok by them! (See "silly bulls")

If a Usenet post isn't great literature, I don't know what is.

That would depend on whether it's loaded or not. With 150+ tons of
ore on board it gets a lot less mileage than it does empty.

Oh, com on. Use some basic imagination. Obviously, you cut out
the front of the bed. Tken take all the seats, but the front, out. You
could carry telephone poles in there. Or your bass boat. Leave the
seats in, carry a couple of little leage ball teams. Put your
mom-in-law in the rear seat; or the wife, at times. Mega tailgate
party. The list goes on. Imagination is a terrible thing to waste.
Day labor? What kind of a disgusting mind do you have anyway? I even
came up with the perfect paint job for it.

I was only commenting on the current configuration, not what it could

Actually, it looks like a damned fine job of the modification...

Don't have a clue of what the purpose really is, but from the
body-hauling capacity, one must assume its primarily for migrant farm
hands or similar.

For hauling, removing one cab section and inserting a shortbed bed
section in its place would give a 14-ft bed, just about right for those
runs to the sawmill...

My personal thought is, a junkyard guy with time on his hands.
Actually, looks like an excellent airport limo. There's people I know
who would love renting this as a wedding limo - me included. Maybe an
inexpensiv church or activity bus. Or maybe just someone with more
family than money. On reflection, I think I may rather speculate, than
to actually know, why it was made. Another thought, enough seats so
each kid can have their own sead, and won't ght so much - now that one
sounds like a winner.

It reminds me of a day a couple years ago, sitting in a friend's yard
waiting for paint to dry (lacquer, really). He lives next to the route
460 bypass with a three lane turn off. Big ol' limo making the turn.
Or trying to. I doubt this was an airport limo. It looked much more
like the silly transport kids use at proms. It took the guy three
tries, two more tries than your average 18 wheeler, to navigate the
turn onto the entrance. We were laughing so hard we spilled our
coffee.

I recall being able to borrow a NEW car for my senior prom. A Nash
Metropolitan. But, as my old man said, "What's a senior prom."
