Ever heard of a Coleman truck before?

I’m glad this one had a badge on the front, or else I wouldn’t have had a clue what I was looking at.
The unusual looking vehicle is a Coleman, and was photographed in Colorado – which is apparently where it was manufactured. But that’s about all I know about it. Does anyone have any more information? Like how long they made these oddities for, what year this one hails from, and what that white stuff is in the back?

the white stuff in the back appears to be a huge pile of deer antlers. A lot of Americans - especially those who live out West - collect such antlers, but I've never seen that many at once, nor have I seen them stacked like that.

As for the Coleman, you got me. Good find, though.

Even appears to have a picture of the very same Coleman - once again loaded with antlers.
