I was in Alamogordo, NM a week or so ago and spotted this rig off the side of the road.
I turned around and went back to see if I could find the owner to ask him about it but there was no one around;

I must hold the longest working truck record lol. since we bought this F6
new in 1950. Here is a 100 ft horse barn my boy is building, the F6
supplys air for nail guns, a big Miller welder on it that supplys the electric
nice to lock up the tools end of day. That cap on there is just setting
there for cover. I like that wonder if they make 9 foot fibre glass caps?
think I'll build one plywood alum skinned cap. Pic taken Sunday 06/01/14
all truses are up as of tuesday.
