An early, cool, vintage flatbed truck?

That would be super cool.

I will give another clue. It's closer to this than it is to a 356 Speedster, that's for sure...

To be honest, I *would* totally buy one of those. The 1950s are awesome in particular, if they still exist. But no, it's not a Weinermobile.

The guy I bought it from, needs to make room for a monster truck. That is another clue.

Slightly more practical than a monster truck. This is actually very practical at times.

This is not it, but this thread is too cool not to post a video. Interesting, this is not a real school bus, but one that was specially built for the truck at 3/4 scale, so it could use standard components. Standing by itself, it looks huge, but it's in effect an optical illusion. Just to be clear, this is not it, but (another clue), what I bought is probably as loud.

I have other ideas:

Custom Metro van with duallies?
An old Dodge drag race hauler like the ones Prudhomme and McEwan and Sox and Martin used?

a Barris or Gene Winfield custom?
