Does anyone recognize this truck?

Post by Toyotachris1982 »

I saw a post awhile back on here with this exact truck in a picture hanging on a wall in someone's collection. Anyone recognize the truck or know who owned it? I recently purchased it off ebay

The individual I bought it from did not build it.

It’s a Brian Kinwald paint scheme, there are hundreds of them out there. I guess there is always a possibility it was one of his but more likely than not it was done as a tribute scheme

Yeah definitely a replica not BK's but I am certain I saw this exact truck in a pic on here. It was in a collection someone had posted and they were stacked vertically mounted to a wall it was a pic of maybe a dozen vintage cars

What makes you think it was this exact truck in the picture and not the original BK truck? Are there details that we can't see?

So awhile back this popped up on ebay and I happen to see it a few days later under a search for something else that I cannot recall. I saw it and I compared the way the window trim looks and the way the splash looks as well as it was missing the separating black line in the center of the yellow on the side (which was clearly a mistake). but even with all those things said it could be a coincidence but I feel fairly certain it is the same truck

I did a quick search, maybe this guy built it the back drop and photos look similar. Try searching through his old threads.
