Nate | | | | | Joined: Feb 2002 Posts: 12,029 Cruising in the Passing Lane | | Cruising in the Passing Lane Joined: Feb 2002 Posts: 12,029 | my understanding is it was just a Chevy based thing, maybe even just a limited special order run - I don't know if anyone has any hard info on them, including Carter, who had the line drawing and was looking for info for years
Bill | | | | | Joined: Jul 2004 Posts: 2,946 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Jul 2004 Posts: 2,946 | "Wheels of Time" magazine (the ATHS magazine)did an article on this a couple years ago. Don't know the exact issue right now, but could look it up if anyone's interested. | | | | | Joined: Jul 2005 Posts: 117 Wrench Fetcher | | Wrench Fetcher Joined: Jul 2005 Posts: 117 | I never knew a truck like that existed but it is sure must have been an awsome sight.

Speed | | | | | Joined: Nov 2000 Posts: 1,927 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Nov 2000 Posts: 1,927 | There was a thread on these forums about this truck a few years ago. I thought it was just an urban legend. I thought it was probably a concept that never got built. But now I've seen pictures. Still it was probably low volume. Any other info?
