This housetruck was built and is owned by my friend John. <BR>It's built on a 1949 Federal Truck chassis, and he's owned it since 1971!!! <IMG class="emoticon bbc_img" title="Eek - :eek:" src="/images/boards/smilies/eek.gif"><BR>(I'm camping with him tomorrow night!!) <IMG class="emoticon bbc_img" title="Thumb - :thumb:" src="/images/boards/smilies/thumb.gif"><BR><BR><IMG style="WIDTH: 1047px; HEIGHT: 689px" class=bbc_img src="http://nebula.wsimg.com/ea9c008b66f...sKeyId=72CAA67C679C1F435C58&amp;disposition=0" rel="lightbox"><BR><BR><IMG style="WIDTH: 930px; HEIGHT: 633px" class=bbc_img src="http://nebula.wsimg.com/b9aa726f667...sKeyId=72CAA67C679C1F435C58&amp;disposition=0" rel="lightbox"><BR><BR><IMG style="WIDTH: 699px; HEIGHT: 964px" class=bbc_img src="http://nebula.wsimg.com/39ed532a5b7...sKeyId=72CAA67C679C1F435C58&amp;disposition=0" rel="lightbox"><BR><BR><BR>and believe it or not, these pictures do NOT do this truck justice! It's absolutely STUNNING in person! <BR><BR>You can see more at his website: <A href="http://federalmotorhome.com/" rel=nofollow target=_blank>http://federalmotorhome.com/</A><BR><BR>(don't know why the pics above are so distorted???)
 
holy craftsmanship batman.<br><br>incredible!
 
To sum it up "Wow". I'm impressed they have had it and used for so many years.
 
this is awesome.. kinda makes me wish for a leather sofa in my rig..
 
That both rocks AND rolls!<img src="/images/boards/smilies/thumb.gif" class="emoticon bbc_img">
 
<em><strong><span style="color: #888888;">Ahhh, a classic beautiful old truck. love it.</span></strong></em><br><em><strong><span style="color: #888888;">I would love to eventually go down this path, classic trucks and motorhoming what a combination.</span></strong></em><br><em><strong><span style="color: #888888;"><br><br><br></span></strong></em>
 
Oof. That housetruck is nicer than any apartment I've ever had.
 
Another thing that makes this truck so frikken cool....is that he actually uses the crap outta it!!
He's from the Portland area, and this past summer he went on the Lincoln Highway Tour. 5000 miles in 3 weeks......RESPECT!!!
 
He just drove it 5000 miles? This brings up another question, has he updated the engine and running gear, or is it all restored original? Either way, its still a very nice ride that I would be proud to own.
 
Hi Patrick, That is quite a rig! Your right, he deserves 110% respect for the Lincoln Highway Tour !! Does it have an original power train? Duane
