Wow.. Wonderful..and beautiful truck.

I'm envisioning the neighbors looking out and saying.."keep the poodles inside..and don't put the steaks on the barbee!!"
(In jest!!)

I am curious as to the husbandry needs as in cage design and how the animals were serviced
I came along quite a few years later and big cat equipment was fairly standardised by that time.
I believe the equipment of this era was transitional from strictly tent show equipment to building show era
can annyone speak to me about this.
I have a great collection of photos of animal transportation equipment from the 1970s forward,and I have seen a lot of early tent show stuff at different museums but I have a large gap in info on the transition equipment.
I can be reached at :

any comments or photos of such equipment would be greatly appreciated

Do you think the sign on the post box and in the front yard read "NO PARKING"?

I was curious, too, Larry. There are no clean-out doors on this, the roadside of the trailer, but we don't have a view of the curbside wall.

To Larry, again: I just found a photo of the curbside of this TMJ trailer, and can't make out vents or clean-out slots, but then again, I don't know how this trailer was loaded.

...could be this was just props and equipment and the animals were in a separate unit...
