Beers-Barnes Circus

Anyone have any ideas on the truck's use? Shop, supplies?

I was on the Beers and Barnes Circus in '66...
I remember that straight job...
Harold had the pit show loaded in it and a lincoln welder that was also the backup generator for the show...
The truck was also the shop...
That outfit could go into the woods with an axe and come out with a center pole...
Once we caught a lightning strike which split the #3 center pole on the bale ring top and had to do just that...
I distinctly remember the all night campfire and how we heated a stake to burn a hole through the log...
