Add a coat of yellow gloss. And maybe a bumper in the rear. With one of those nasty trailer hitches that hang out the back to spear rice rockets.

Because it can't be licensed for the street.

Pain't roller, couple of foam brushes, canary yellow paint, no prob. I'd be very tempted to put on a bumber made out of a section of railroad track - and brake frequently when i look in my rearview mirror and can't even see the bumper on the car behind me.

The yellow gloss would help me stay away from that hitch.
Personally, I love riding a 600 pound pony with 150 horses. Problem is, that an idiot, who doesn't quite shave yet, and still says: Dooooode!!!", barely 16, can ride one of those crotch rockets. It is NOT the guy with the 976 Duc...
On the up side.... MANY people's lives are saved by donors who thought they could out-run that locomotive. It is not the gun, bike, small plane..... No offense, Barry, but you guys seldom leave anything useful at the scene. *G*.
I'm a bit giddy. My oldest daughter (27) is getting married on Saturday....to a most incredibly wonderful guy.... an English major..who'da thunk it?

I'd like to see you try to pull him over and tell him.

He'll run into something he can't go under or through eventually. Those things are _huge_--won't go under most underpasses or through most tunnels or down many two lane streets between buildings.
If you've never seen one up close and personal, they're something to see. I've got a whole bunch of pictures of this one

The fuzzy headed fellow who, at age 17, whacked into my sons at 45 mph, driving an old Volvo tank, and put the back bumper into the back seat, and all walked away... I know the type.
I feel the same way. My mother was an RN.
Major congratulations!
Patriarch, who agrees. The new granddaughter is two weeks old today.

Well, you had better improve your English before talking to him. 'Who'da thunk it"? :-)
I have a son-in-law who is an English major he's a very nice guy (If he makes my little girl happy, he must be doing something right ;-) The other son-in-law has a degree in aerospace engineering - and he also is a very nice guy.

Nowadays, English isn't about nouns, verbs, and silly bulls. They quit that stuff when I was in 7th grade. It's Literature acadamia's interested in. "Improper" language is ok by them! (See "silly bulls")
If a Usenet post isn't great literature, I don't know what is.

That would depend on whether it's loaded or not. With 150+ tons of ore on board it gets a lot less mileage than it does empty.
Little short on the wood hauling it looks like...appears to still be only 8-ft bed length...
Why am I thinking "day labor" here... :(

Oh, com on. Use some basic imagination. Obviously, you cut out the front of the bed. Tken take all the seats, but the front, out. You could carry telephone poles in there. Or your bass boat. Leave the seats in, carry a couple of little leage ball teams. Put your mom-in-law in the rear seat; or the wife, at times. Mega tailgate party. The list goes on. Imagination is a terrible thing to waste. Day labor? What kind of a disgusting mind do you have anyway? I even came up with the perfect paint job for it.

I was only commenting on the current configuration, not what it could become...
Actually, it looks like a damned fine job of the modification...
Don't have a clue of what the purpose really is, but from the body-hauling capacity, one must assume its primarily for migrant farm hands or similar.
For hauling, removing one cab section and inserting a shortbed bed section in its place would give a 14-ft bed, just about right for those runs to the sawmill... :)
