Not sure if this belongs here or not, but my buddy's family in NW Ohio has had farm trucks that were much modified from what they were originally built as...
The one that comes to mind is a mid '60s Cab-over 600(?) that was originally a short-chassis single-axle dually tractor-trailer hauler for mobile homes. They bought it in the early '70s, cut- and extended the frame behind the cab to make a 20-plus-foot stake-bed farm truck, custom driveshaft and all! My buddy showed me the weld points/frame doublers added for the conversion. The frame was all sandblasted, ground smooth, repainted and even hand-pin-striped to damn-near show quality. I mean seriously, this truck could be a show-stopper at any car show, just for the quality of the work!
This 'spare time' that these farmers have is why these guys can build those monster tractor-pullers, stadium monster trucks, and many other interesting vehicles that we all know and love....
'Merica, baby!

"search web for image" doesn't seem to work for me any longer or I'd look it up.

Edit, I tried but google won't let me copy and paste the link. It breaks in the translation somehow. And where it used to give me a list of places the pic was discussed when I clicked on the exact match button, it won't bring them up now. The interweb is an amazing thing.

"It’s a screenshot from the series “FallOut” (which was originally a post apocalyptic game) you can also find those scattered across the wasteland in the game."
And this from American Hotrodders Show Facebook Page:
"This is a scene from Fallout."
