Is this Massachusetts Truck Coming or Going?

Eric Wright says he gets a lot of double-takes when he takes his custom truck for a ride.

When you first see this truck (and only on non-rainy days), you might say, 'What the...?' That's what the woman said when he went to get a vanity plate. But since you can't put that on a license plate, he went with WHT THE.

Why is this truck in Massachusetts both coming and going?

Eric from Tynsborough, Massachusetts wanted something to attract attention to his business. He looked at blimps or big balloons, but nothing really caught his eye. Then he saw this truck, originally from Arizona on Ebay. He bought it 25 years ago.

Eric told Business Insider that you can't drive this truck and be in a bad mood.

I have more fun driving this than anything I've ever driven.

 

Eric has spent the last 25 years perfecting his mirror-imaged truck. They are two identical cabs welded together back to back. One is a Chevy, the other is a GMC, and both were built in 1975. Same seats, same liners, same mirrors - but you can only drive from one side. The engine is in front of the driver, and the trunk is in front of the back passengers.

Is this crazy truck legal in Massachusetts?

It sure is. 100% road legal. The brake lights are LED lights from a school bus! He didn't weld the two truck cabs together, he bought it that way. The truck used to be in front of both a Chevy and GMC dealership. They'd trade off. Now, it's Eric's pride and joy. He often enters car shows and wins for fan favorite.
