What in the Blue Ridge would be called a Ridge Runner. One guy I bought my shine off had a truck like that. Sometimes we'd find him passed out way up in the mountains on a dirt track road. We'd push him outta the way, leave money on the seat for what ever shine we took. Life was simple in those days. That would have been Shifflett and Bacon Hollars.
Southern vehicles tend to rust from the top down. The sun beats up the paint up there first. However northern vehicles rust from the bottom up. The salt gets them eaten up from below. They rot out many times faster. I see a truck like that and say it's still in pretty good shape. Not a single fender flapping.
That's just a dove hunting conversion. We do that here in Arizona, except we just throw the love seat in the bed and then deposit in on the ground once we're at the hunting spot. We lounge around waiting for the doves to come zooming by. Beats that walking shit all to Hell.

I’ve never heard that before Interesting observation, sounds plausible.
