Meet The Big Maroon. A Beautiful Mobile Home Atop A 1949 Federal Farmtruck...

John purchased this 1949 Federal flatbed farmtruck in 1971 for the princely sum of $125.
He's done a lot of work on this beautiful old truck since then.
There's more about what he's been up to here.
The Big Maroon is one very stylish old timer...
