The Gunnar racing truck was a troutman pickup, there were two, one six and one four.
Gunnar restored the six to what you see on this page, as a "what if" safety truck. It did not originally have the flairs ect. The 4 was in Colorado in a private collection for many years. I tried for 8 years to buy it from the owner without success. It's now in the Rhode Scholars collection in NC. It was changed from brown to red many years ago, this is how the 4 looks now. http://flatsixes.com/cars/porsche-914/pick-up-truck/ Ferg |
