Cool rig! Since it is a C900 it should be gas powered, maybe 534. If it were a C9000, then it would be diesel powered, maybe 3208 Cat.

That's been for sale before.  Unique.  The interior is real 70's shag wagon.
I forget if it's diesel or gas powered.  Be real thirsty if a gasser!

First thing I thought was what an awesome race car hauler it would make. Of course you'd have to gut that interior to do it, but it's certainly not  usable as an RV, unless you had stupid amounts of money and used it as a race event tailgater. Still, those COE's ride like bricks, being you're sitting right on top of the front axle. It sure looks cool though, and is a cool conversation piece!

Did the gas monkeys have that? I've seen it on tv, but can't remember what show.

Ah yes, the "Two-story Falcon".  My Dad had one for a while, with a sleeper bunk. he used to drive over the road.  Quite the RV, though

Dan,  Those "Camelot Cruisers" are standard C-Series Ford tractors.  A "Two Story Falcon"  is an H Series Tractor.  A modified C Series cab was used, but moved up and back over the steer axle to shorten the overall truck length back in the day when truck/trailers were limited to 75' or less.  The H Series was primarily a Tractor (but not always, some were built with vocational boxes), where as the C Series was almost always a vocational truck with just a few tractors made.

H Series:

Yea, Fast and Loud....that's where I saw it or its brother!! The interior décor was hideous by todays standards. Seems like it had a boat stored below too.

Cabs built by Budd.  Same cab was used on the N model Mack back in the day.

Frozen Merc, thanks for the pics and info!  I guess my memory isn't what it used to be.  His was the H series with tandem rears that he drove over the road.

Gutting that interior would be a service to humanity. Cool as hell truck though.
