Big Foot Skoolie photo, just for laughs

Seen along US 101 in Northern California, near Laytonville. It's been sitting there for years.

Don't get any bright ideas about raising the roof on that one. They already lowered the ground! Heck, you could probably put a basement apartment in that instead.

Is that thing drivable or did they just put it together for looks?

It looks like it was drivable. There is a big gasoline engine with auto trans, and
behind that is a home made transfer chain setup down to drive shafts that go fore and
aft. Big industrial sprockets and bearings. The front shaft was out of it, and there
was a rag where the front pinion should be. I bet they had fun at the County Fair!
