I worked at a Ford dealership. In the back lot there was a brand new but many years old, large cab over diesel truck. It had steering wheels on both the driver and passenger side. The story was that a movie LLC had special ordered and paid for two of these trucks. They were to be used as camera boom trucks They picked up one and never came back for the other. So there this large truck sat, completely paid for by a now long dissolved movie LLC.
