I never knew truck companies would use cabs from other companies until more recent years. But cabs are a very expense thing to design and build. I guess those Macks were the predecessors to the ones you see now as dumpster trucks. My friend has a C-cab Ford with a crane mounted. He's a sign painter, so it is a bit 'painted up'

I only know it from that one show. Haven't seen it since. It's built by Walker, who made big specialty trucks. It is a runway drier. That is a jet engine on back that did the drying. I'd like to know more myself. That was '09 at the ATCA (Antique Truck Club of America) national show in Macungie, PA. Maybe through their website or other searches you could find mention. It was the star of the show that year!
