Nice...love these big trucks.
I seriously wish I had a use for one because I love them but the only useable configuration I've ever seen is just with a trailer. Even a nice vintage fruehauf or something similar sure is cool behind these old beasts.
I can see a real solid business transporting cars & trucks with one of these old trucks updated with a little more modern running gear.
I realize it's tough without proper sleeping quarters but I think the advertising would outweigh the discomfort :)
There was a local guy called "Ranger Transport" transporting everything under the sun here in Vancouver with a B61 Mack modified with a 350 Cummins & fully modern running gear but he was basically a day cab running around the area & no long distance hauls. Everyone knew him...even people that know nothing about trucks. Sadly, he's had medical problems & retired.
