Benito M.B. canada day show

For a small town we have great volunteers that put on a great little Canada day ( live music , horseshoes , slow pitch tourney , beer gardens etc. ) this year it was decided to try a car show and as far as most were concerned was a great success .

this truck was at a local car show last week



this camper is towed by the bike

Yes he had said he may come to ours ( only 50 miles ) and I wish he had . I didn't get a pic of it from the side but he raised the box 4" because he didn't like the space under the back window and he needed room for the custom frame and air ride . he then just lowered the front of the rear fenders to match the running boards . And as usual I thought of allot of things I should have investigated while it was in front of me .

Never noticed those mods, hard to tell in those pics. What did the M 350 have for a motor, looks like a six in that pic but hard to tell. The 56 I'm hooping to get only has a six, seems weird for a 350..

Yes it was a six . The 4" seemed allot to me but if you look at the top of the box related to the back window " allowing for a bit of hard cover " and looking at the length of the front of the rear fender compared to the back it's definitely up some but as I mentioned a side shot would have been helpful to give perspective .

When I compare it to mine it looks like it's pretty much the same going by where it sits to the height of the door handle

So… In one of the first pictures there is a red convertible Meteor? I've never heard of
that name down here in Texas. Any more background on a Meteor?

I would say by your pic that yours is some what below or level with the bottom of the handle and his is a little above but doesn't look like 4" . It's possible he meant the end result with the cover was 4" but still seems like a stretch and his statement was that he raised the box by 4" . That being said I would have thought the wheel opening would have really looked awkward . If only some one would have taken a side pic lol .
