Wonder if the chassis was big too.

I wonder who would be able to "no stoop" with this one.

Perhaps Kareem Abdul Jabbar?

Rod,

Yes, I know, but the Giant Philco is not around anymore either, so I go by whoever was alive fairly recently.
He was in "princess Bride", that end o 80s. I was all grown up.

And here's a story about the tires on the truck. Same "no-stoop" guy must have installed these! Take care and BE HEALTHY! Gary

If it is 12', either Kareem or Andre would have to jump pretty high to look at the front panel.
Kareem would have an easier time doing that, yes.

But one thing for sure, they would not have to stoop or squat.

Yes I had looked for it on the web as well some time back and could not find it. I was glad to see it turned up in Ron's Collection and we could scan it into our library documents.
