Travis got the truck built 5 years ago, and it was featured at SEMA 04. He kept the truck until early 07 i believe, then it was sold to an audio shop in Virginia. February 09 I decided to start looking for the truck thinking i might be able to "steal it" (price wise not literally) due to the economy. I found the owner thanks to a reply on mautofied. The owner was quite shocked at me looking for the truck. I asked if he wanted to sell it and he replied "sure for $35,000." I was 18 and that just wouldnt work. I told him to let me know if he ever actually needed to sell the truck to please let me know.
About a month ago now, he called again with a lower price. I told him the most i could pay and he took it! I talked to my boss at the GM dealer i work for and he approved buying it and in house financing it. 2 weeks later i was at the US Canadian border picking up my dream truck.
I know this truck has been a dream for alot of square body guys, and i know im very lucky to own it especially at my age. This is the truck that got me into the truck scene. I followed the build and read every article about it. I even went to visit Hills Hot Rods when i was 14 with my dad (drives long haul truck) because i had seen this truck in the magazines. You can ask CHEESE, he was there. I never thought i would own it, but now i do.
I can assure you all that Red Rocker will be taken care of. It gets parked inside everynight in a heated alarmed shop with about 20 other show cars. The plan is to drive it and show it up here where nobody has seen it yet, atleast not in person. I will not be taking any of the credit for it. Hills Hot Rods built this truck; their name is on the back window once again. It was Travis Noacks project, and it will always be that way.

thats awsome im from lethbridge to man. i seen the truck at corn fest. looked amazing and blew away every thing there. cant wate to see it out next summer.

They are currently on my 72 stepper. I will be getting another set for this truck when I get to working on it again. I am a cragar fan and think they look really good.
I decided since the truck was going to be parked for awhile that these shoes would do just fine until it was back on the road then it was time for new dancing shoes.
