Technical Shampoo truck info

Anyone have any info on Joe Bailon's build of his Shampoo Truck? I have a '50 Ford 4 dr in beautiful shape with a sweet running flattie. I want to cut the crap out of this thing to make a '50 Ranchero and don't know just where to start. Just turned 75 and don't know if I will live long enough to finish it, but I thought it would be fun to try....... Thanx

 

a recent article about it

Go for it. It's a beautiful truck.

 

This is all I have of the article.

Here's another one.

 

Forget the Sham poo. Go for the real poo!

 

Love these "trucks"! What is the dark car in the background in the above mag pic?

 

...I like cars made into trucks,...here's one I sketch'd...

Way cool. My Dad did that to 50's Pontiac wagon in the 60's. Will try to rustle up a pic or two.

I see this one at all the local shows. Won "best in show " at the last one. Built from a station wagon and still has a back seat!
