To earn a point, specify the year, make, and model of this truck

I guess the Experts don't like old trucks.

Pros?

Hi Cuda:

The vehicle is a Whattoff Toter 8, based on the International Sightliner cab with their own combination of bits and pieces and engines.  As I understand it, this version was built from 1962-1965 and I could not find a specific year for your photo.

Below is a photo of the version with the shorter propshaft, your photo shows the longer version.

And the point goes to the Truck Expert, Bill Murray.

From what I read, they only made 25 of these.  In Iowa, there were length restrictions on trucks while towing single-wide house trailers.  So truckers would drive up to the trailer in "long wheelbase mode", collapse the frame, connect to the trailer, and drive to their destination.

Thanks, Cuda, and yes, I have it at 25 examples also.

I'm almost sorry for the quick solution, but the Sightliner Inter was almost instantly recognizable and a whack at the regular Google image search brought it up in a heartbeat.
