another mystery truck in parking lot

[xratt]

This is not as good as ones i've seen before on here. But worth a pic. I wish I could have waited around to meet the owner. Like to know what year it is exactly, and how the one piece tilt front end worked. Huge hinges at the front bumper. It had 5 lug wheels all around. Also a sweet home made hood ornament. Too bad, the topper kinda ruined the look, but i guess function is important to some people. Strange.
