Can anybody tell me what is the business, those trucks came from a old company?, or they paint all at the same color to sale them?.

Generally, they were junk trucks that got gutted of anything useful, and got a cosmetic restoration and a slick-looking paint job. From 50 feet away they look pretty good. Up close, they're a total disaster. Lots of Bondo, and not much chance of ever being roadworthy again! The price sucks, also!

No interior, no engines, no brakes, etc.
Unless your the guy buying the lot of them at the auction, I would be wary unless you inspect it inside, out.

They are long gone and maybe a few are being resold. But they were store props with everything that was considered hazardous removed. No brakes, engines, transmissions etc. ALAN BRASINGTON was the designer and they have information on all of their stores that they have worked on through the years.

Benny, my friend, got the "pick of the litter" and ended up with a lot of good stuff but he paid 1500 for it. I looked at it when he hauled it home and he for sure got his money's worth on the truck he got but even according to his estimate most of them were NOT a good buy.
So, if your buying one buyer be ware. Be sure you can personally inspect it. | | | | | Joined: Mar 2004 Posts: 3,068 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Mar 2004 Posts: 3,068 | My buddy also got a nice one.
