Truck slow? Well, it was OK... not lot's of HP, but it cruised nice.
It struggled up hills..... you just worked with what limited power you had.
After this multi-year "learning experience", ... I started driving nice semi-trucks after that. ( pro-roadracing).... LOVED the big rigs!!

These pics shows before it was repainted.... Only one pic showing the right side of the RV cab. Other pic as it was parked at my house.
The 'RV' sleeper-box was like a standard " travel trailer" design. ( Inc. a shower/ bathroom)...

The trailer had a double-decker set-up for 2 F1-Tunnel boats, and a Suzuki Samari fitted up foward, to launch boats.

When I went from So Cal to Fenton Missouri, to get new boats, I used this Dually. ( Photo, in snow.... Flagstaff, Az. ) MUCH more enjoyable to drive.
Interestingly enough, the Dually had a 350 cid.
