Don't know about the body, but I'd assume sheet steel. And it's about a 2 hour drive one way.

Hey Havi. I am thinking from what ya called it and it's look that it was prolly used by a Railroad.
Sooo The thought came to me to fill it with cool old miniature train sets and scenery that was restored and set up cool for showing at car shows. It would also get ya into the electric train set hobby, If ya ain't already. I mean like ya really need another money sucking hobby.

Here's an odd one I just came across. Great advertising for the company. Back in the day when many of the biggest trees were harvested.

I'm <guessing> going to guess that it's a quanset building covered with tree bark...if the bark is even real. Look at the part of the "tree" right behind the cab. There would have to be something inside the bark other than a tree for structural strength.
That rig looks just like it's a small semi trailer.</guessing>
