Re: 57 napco promo
I've seen it before, but nice to look at again. Not bad for wimpy six cylinder trucks! I've always wondered if they put in a lower rearend just for the trip?

That was cool. They are tough trucks.
Did you guys notice the single taillight? My '51 had the original single tailight along with two "newer" taillights that my grandpa installed. |

Yes, pretty fun watching... I liked the 'peek-a-boo' mirror and it was a big-window version t/f, too! A tough 6-cylinder!! -Doug

Re: 57 napco promo
That was awesome.... We will never see those days again. Those guys in the back looked like they were having fun.
Lets see you do that with your lowered Ford Pinto ( Mustang II) front suspension!! Posted via Mobile Device

Re: 57 napco promo
This video is what inspired me to find a Task Force truck. I hope I can make mine look more like this truck i.e. tall skinny tires if I can find some.
