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.

MAN, I've been to letbridge about 20 times nice place! The College was off the chain! Very nice people!!!

Max, Awesome Truck and Thanks for sharing the info with us. I'm glad you didn't take offense to me asking what you paid. Congrats! You got a keeper lol

[BruthaMan]

Awesome story, Max! You'll go far in life. You have something many young men take years to discover. Drive, dedication and persistence. You knew what you wanted and patiently pursued it. Bruthaman tips his hat to you!

[ratty 46]

I don't really care how much you paid ...... I didn't & couldn't afford it right now. I do however enjoy seeing the truck & it is nice to see someone purchase it that actually appreciates the craftsmanship that went into a project like this. Also someone that will drive it.

Enjoy your new truck.
