PeterMack Posted July 24, 2013 Share Posted July 24, 2013 I've known where this truck has been sitting for a couple years, finally had some time to swing inand get a picture of it today. Not sure why somebody did this to this poor truck. It is pulling a container chassis with a small house on it and then it looks like they decided to put an additionon the truck. I'm gonna guess it was used in a parade and then forgotten about. I'm open to otherguess's though. 2 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/32034-kenworth-cabover-house/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

PeterMack Posted July 26, 2013 Author Share Posted July 26, 2013 I also have taken pictures of that truck. My wife couldn't understand why I even turned around to do it.I had to get a picture of it also. If the grass were lower you could see the rest of it better. It has a bunch of stickersall over that talk about Polish history, although they are quite sun faded. That's why I wondered if this was some elaborateparade float at one time. I just wanna know how fast it will go before all the crap starts blowing off of it.
