i think it was a commission piece for some company...not sure tho, but the guy that owns it, or the one standing next to the truck at the show looked like a total *****, a patriot, but a ***** none the less.

Prerunner,
Was this an actual paint job or one of those computer generated jobs like they do on buses? Just curious because that is a lot of work for paint.

I belive that truck was at SEMA 05 or 06. Might not be but there was a truck there with a lotta lift and a patriotic paint job like that. I may not be a fan of trailor queens but for something that is a tribute to the armed forces and men and women who give their lives for their country, I'm more than willing to let that slide.

And thats the real paint there has been several articles in several truck based magazines like Trucking and 4Wheel-Offroader....I dont remember the correct amount of hours but it was somewhere close to 3000 hours of work went into it...well worht it in my opinion.

Frankly, I think it looks stupid. Not saying the concept is stupid, but it looks stupid.

I saw that truck at a car show in St Paul. Those pictures do it absolutely no justice. Its amazing. They had a board next to it stating all the facts of it. I don't remember exactly but it was like $180,000 invested in the truck and its trailer; and about 50,000 man hours of labor to complete it. One thing the pictures didn't show is the body is on some kind of hydrolics kinda like a dump truck. The body slants up and the grill ends up at like 14 ft in the air. Its pretty cool.
