jorgensensc · 09-11-2007, 08:08 PM

If memory serves me correctly that truck was built by a board member, IIRC.
SHawn

I wish I had $45,000 too, but I spent it on a Hummer.

72highlander · 09-11-2007, 08:14 PM

hummer!! she'd look way cooler in that. it has all late model drive train in it, plus it will hold it's value.

I hope it was worth it!

That one is definitely worth the money!

'68 longbed · 09-11-2007, 08:18 PM

I was just thinkin' , wouldn't be great to have a truck worthy of a magazine spread?!!

that thing is beautiful, prolly cost every bit of 45grand just to build it

MyakkaJeff · 09-11-2007, 08:26 PM

glock35ipsc- I'm still waiting, It's been 4 years. 4 LONG years.

abadsvt · 09-11-2007, 08:28 PM

I bought my c5 rollin chassis off the guy who built that truck. His name is Paul. Nice guy. He owns a aftermarket truck shop that sells just about everything from off road accessories to air bags and big wheels. He has a complete shop and they build custom rides for all sorts of people. He recently added a paint and body so now he can completely build the truck from chassis to paint to upholstery. I highly doubt that he spent 45k to build that truck since he does everything inhouse but he does great work. When i picked up my chassis he showed me his entire operation. Pretty impressive. Here is his link to more stuff he built. http://www.pgseriestrucks.com/rodsbypg.html

I thought that truck was built by Pro Design Hot Rods. ???

glock35ipsc · 09-11-2007, 08:57 PM

Didn't they build the Burb that almost always seems to be pictured with it?

bad6772 · 09-11-2007, 09:00 PM

skchevota · 09-11-2007, 09:48 PM

It was. Mike Filion is (was) the owner of that truck and it was built as a tow rig for his Burb. I'm not sure what association Paul Garret has with Mike Filion or Pro Design Hot Rods but here's the article from Classic Trucks talking about who built it-Link

bcanini · 09-11-2007, 10:36 PM

I think I want to buy it.. I have that exact truck as a screen saver.
Wonder what I could get for mine??

**SactoJim** · 09-12-2007, 12:00 AM

Beautiful truck, but who wants to buy someone else's finished project.....Just think what you could do to your project with $45K!!!

correct me if im wrong here someone but wasnt this truck used in conjunction with the Consumer Electronics Show as well? maybe the reason for all the tvs

Shak · 09-12-2007, 01:41 AM

Paul Garret bought the truck almost in the condition you see. He bagged it and added some other stuff, but sold it a few months ago. He had it displayed in his shop, which truly is awesome, for quite a while. He builds some fantastic vehicles and has great fabrication skills. He is also very nice to deal with. If you ever find yourself in Southern California, it is worth a trip to his shop.

Well, If I hit the lotto this week I know where 45K will be going!
