I made this shot in 2010, and it’s still a mystery. At the time, the truck was parked near the Trudie community and caught my eye every time I drove past it. There was usually a note on the windshield from someone wanting to buy it. Since it’s been gone for many years, I guess someone finally heard from the owner and took it off their hands.

It’s a 1980s model Toyota 4-WD, but beyond that, I don’t know a model name. The most curious aspect of the truck isn’t the camouflage but the fact that it has a custom cab that mirrors the front cab. With this configuration, I imagine the back seats faced the back, instead of the traditional layout facing the front. It’s also as roomy as the front. I don’t know much about custom trucks, and all I was able to locate in research is that this was a practice with some fire trucks from the 1940s onward. This obviously wasn’t a fire truck and my bet would be that it was used for hunting.

If anyone knows the rest of the story, please reach out and let me know.
