Truck in a Tree ????? And More ???

I have been wanting to post pictures of these two rigs for several years, but never have my camera with me when I pass them....this morning I took the Wife to Milwaukee airport, and remembered to take my camera, so here you go...Enjoy....
They are located along I43 near Clinton (Beloit) WI...

 

Pretty cool, but what a waste of good trucks!

 

The one in the tree has been posted many times on here but the wheelstander is new ........at least to me. Both very cool.

Why???

 

why not?

 

Both of those are way better options than in a river levy as erosion control. I also had never seen the one coming off the dirt ramp. Thanks for sharing.

 

This is going back a few years ago, That guy was on tv, he has a lot of cool stuff. Wish I could remember what program it was.

 

KRAZY!!!! That is too KOOL!!! I bet the restorers go nuts!!! ROY.

 

He used to make the Matson crossfire dist caps for sbc.

Because "Madman" is the grand master attention whore.

He used to take the wheelstander to the local car shows and rev it up every 1/2 hour to draw a crowd to himself. Just like Old Faithful.

 

The one coming off the ramp was originally across the interstate in a field, and not real noticeable....
Some years back, he moved it to it's present location.....Where it has been for the last ~10 years or so.....

 

Waste of a beautiful truck if you ask me. What kid wants a treehouse fifty feet in the freakin' air? Sounds like a good idea. "Hey son, why don't you go play in the treehouse?"

 

That is his name , Matson.

He also had a Hemi engine with a blower on it that was his mailbox, it went missing for a few years and he tracked it down to northern or central Illinois. He went down there and as I remember confronted the guy and took it back. I hope I got the story right it seems that it was about 10 years ago.

He sold the distributor cap company and invented a remote control cut off for lakes pipes and stubbys. Don't know what ever happened to that though.

Wasnt there a red and white one North Carolina too?

 

Never seen that before. Read about the guy though in the link provided in an above post. Pretty crazy/interesting guy it seems. Seems like he just does whatever the fuck he wants. Pretty badass.

 

Safe bet he doesnt post on a message board asking if he should do something.

 

A few years ago a buddy of mine forgot my birthday and i got a card in the mail with the truck in the tree on it that said "I can explain". To this day its been a favorite of mine and laugh a little every time i look at it.

 

Wasn't Matson on Larry the Cable Guy's TV show("Only In America" ?) with the Cadillac-car boat?

 

I like the cannon in the background

 

Weird enough to be cool?

 

Must be something in the beer up there.

 

King of Narcissism!

I kinda wanted to know about the trucks on his property and a friend told me he had a website entirely about "How COOL" he is... after he viewed the site for 45 seconds... he vurped a couple times and shut it down!

 

Hmmmm.........
Just looked up his website....
Geesh.......Nuff said......

 

I've seen the truck in the tree, but never like this!

 

dude must have too much time on his hands..and thinks he's all that and a bag of chips

is putting your classic truck up in a tree traditional? i missed that meeting

If you look up "Attention Whore" in the dick-tionary..you will find a picture of him..

 

ok the pictures are cool ....the website is kind way too full of himself

 

At first, I understood. Maybe the guy doesn't have enough cash to make that truck roadworthy, so he decided to paint it as is (protect it) and throw a bunch of useless parts together and display it.
Now that I've seen his website and have more of the story, I've come to the conclusion that he is a poser attention whore douchebag. That explains it.

 

that little wheely popper isnt actualy in the lines tho is it? looks like its just popper up not actualy stuck in the line

 

I hope it wasnt a good truck, I did one for my kids, but it was real ruff tin only, it looks beeter in the pics trust me and my kids can play in it
That chevy madison put in looks to nice.Look at it this way, it want rot like sitting in a field But the wind is a different story
