Bronco 351 is right.. he might get $8000... and that is if some moron buys it...

 

Pretty sure this's a So. Texas quail hunting rig, designed by some guy from *Dallas*...HARRUMPH.

I see trucks like this around San Antonio and south of here a lot.
South Texas is basically flat, a thicket of dense brush about six feet tall. Land owners cut openings or lanes about every half-mile thru, called senderos. When hunting quail, you turn the dogs loose and let them work the edges of the sendero while you're perched in the seat out front. When the dogs flush a covey of quail, you're up above the brush, then if you're lucky and hit one of the 200mph screamers, the dogs bring it to you in the truck. Pretty sweet, except make sure the guy driving is a GOOD friend.

One of the pioneer road builders from here in San Antonio (HB Zachary) had a hunting rig on his S. Texas ranch made from one of those front end loaders (the ones with the 6' tall tires) with the bucket and arms removed, and 1/4" plate steel sheets welded to the top forming a 20'X9' platform with leather recliners, and a wet bar. That thing didn't waste time looking for senderos. It went straight through the thicket.

FWIW, I figure 20k for this truck on Ebay's a little steep.
