Puppetry Stages

Mobile Stage
 Below are two photographs of the trucks I have available
 to service mobile stage concepts under development.

1962 International CO1600    
 I am now considering this vehicle to carry a
Complete Proscenium Puppetry Stage 
I will be an interesting project, to design and construct the stage 
that will fit the size of this bed, with removable legs, whereby  
the stage can lift up, so the truck can drive out from under the stage.  

This is becoming a very real project, which I am now considering as a tool 
for the puppetry version of the show; The Gnomes of New Hope.

Of course, this cannot happen until after the publishing is completed and 
also in the context of other aspects of the project that are underway.  

This truck is being renovated, in that it will be receiving 
a larger rebuilt engine  and rebuilt hydraulics for; 
 the dumping stake-bed, crane arm, brakes and clutch.

1963 Corvair Greenbrier
The above truck was purchased for the frame and powertrain. 
The intention was to remove the body for the purpose of constructing 
a self-powered 
Parade Float with Animatronic Puppetry 
for use in promoting the musical stage show of 
The Gnomes of New Hope: Zach & Zebby's Grand Adventure.

Clearly, this will be a smaller, different stage than that described above.

As it stands now, this truck may be preserved for restoration, 
as I have more than one of these trucks and I am looking at third parts truck,
which would better serve the purpose of a Parade Float
and allow this Greenbrier to be preserved.

I thought this might be interesting to you.
