| This housetruck was a commission that Glen accepted. It's unusual because the cab and chassis are relatively late-model for the time. Most housetrucks are built on foundations that have been purchased after they become too old to be of service as a freight-hauling truck. |
| Note the beveled front window. Many of the rolling homes built in this area have a similar design. Roger tells me that this was a favored method of providing a little bit less flat front to the vehicle, improving gas mileage an lowering wind resistance. |  |
