Was factory high-hump carpet made so you could remove the hump without removing the entire carpet in 1968?

Awesome rig! What he had done to the wheels to retain those hubcaps is cool!

Incredible rig. I can only imagine how many gallons to the mile that thing must get.

According to the ad, it's a no-reserve auction. It's at 40 grand right now.

Neat truck.
Cab mounts look suspect or the angle is weird

Definitely dry rotted rubber consistent with 56 years of existence. Easy fix.

This truck was in the time capsule thread on this listing.https://vmp.ebay.com/ebay/viewAllPho..._redirect=true I do give the seller a lot of credit for converting the front 2 piece 16" wheels into 16" solid wheels and converting the rear 16.5" solid wheels into 16" solid wheels. This allows use of more common 16" tires and the use of original clip style hubcaps.

Normal campers from that era could be tippy, I can imagine that thing getting a little lively to drive and stop with the added height and (presumably uneven) weight ;-)
