DOUBLE WIDE

An Iowa-Built California Cruiser

WHEN YOU SEE SOMETHING YOU LOVE, GO FOR IT! Dave Gonzales of Temecula, California, had been a previous customer of Lakeside Rods & Rides, so he was often checking in with owner Roger Burman to see what he was working on. As it so happened, Roger had something quite unique brewing in the shop. Actually, it was kind of a sequelto a previous build, but with a twist all its own. Some of you may have already seen the other truck, dubbed “Whiskey Bent,” which was another ’62 Dodge D200 crew cab, but let’s introduce you to its lesser-known sibling, “Double Wide.” Roger originally found the truck (which also happens to be a ’62) near Rapid City, South Dakota. It had spent many years as a forestry service truck and was ready for the next stage of its life.
