Did I show this? If I showed it twice it's probably because there is nothing interesting or desirable about it

One of the first things I noticed about this was the fuel fill and that lead me to wonder how much fuel it holds? 75 gallons? 100 gallons? 200 gallons?
Then I started thinking about what its operational weight was? Because I'm sure they loaded it with all the tools you could cram in those boxes. And four people. I discounted the camper weight as it was a later add on. So rough guess fully loaded 11,000 lbs.
Wait a minute look at the camper. It goes all the way over the crew cab!!!!!!! It was orginal!!!!???? Yikes better add another 3500 lbs for a loaded camper of that size and age. Had to be an oil company rig as they were the only ones who could afford to keep it filled up.
Truly cool.
