This Cabover has been sold now.
The Truck started life as a Dump Truck with the Highway
Dept. for the State of Kansas.
The fellow that bought it from the State is the one that
started the custom project.
He had to sell it before completion due to a terminal
illness.
A Gentleman by the name of Frank Potter is the one who
completed it.When Frank bought
the truck it was a basket case.All he got was a truck
load of parts and a drawing from the last
owner depicting how he would have liked it if he could
have finished it.Frank decided that
he liked the image in the drawing and decided to use
the guy's idea.
The frame is a 1987 Chevrolet short bed. If I remember
right it was shortened
at the front and rear but the center of the frame was
never cut or welded.
The wheels were in their original location.
