A Bullnose and farmer ingenuity...

Rembrant
In a news story I watched this morning about farming, they showed this truck below...



This was on a large orchard/farm...for apples, peaches, and tangerines.

Besides the cab likely being rotten with the floor collapsing, I assume it was removed due to space in the rows between crops? As in there's no room to be opening and closing the doors...or like any company that monitors production, they were counting steps, and opening and closing doors were just extra and unnecessary steps...

Wouldn't be much fun in the rain, but it would be no worse than being on a tractor I suppose...lol.

And it surely has the 300 six under the hood.

Not sure what else to say, but they were minimalists.  There ain't much there!

It needs a new dash pad, obviously.

Maybe just a speaker patch?

Looks real short behind the wheels too.

I can see pickers standing on each side as it drove down the rows, and bins in the middle of the "bed"
