Your Grandfather Gordon Beardy was quite a guy

When we demostrated it at the fur traders show in North Bay, the government agent didnt know that the band had a convert a truck. (guess he didnt check on his clients very close)

Really cool conversion. Who did it? Is it one of a kind?

this is a factory production, made in 1988, and sold in Ontario and the artic. I filmed about 5 different versions, but cannot find any of the old video tapes or movies
