Okay Apache,

You asked for it, and you got it...and it ain't no Toyota! Here are two more 'Bolt Bookmobiles, produced by the Gerstenslager Company of Wooster, OH. The larger one was used by Greenville, SC, 30 miles north of where I live.

Curiously, when first seeing my '55, a mechanic at the shop next to our garage said, "You'll have a pretty nice truck when you put a bed where the box is on that Chevy."

Why, in Heaven's name, would I want to do that? It's proof-positive that beauty is truly in the eye of the beholder.

And to my eye, service trucks rule!
