This is an interesting tale, as I can vividly recall seeing the truck cruising the streets of my hometown of Upper Hutt, a city 40 minutes outside of Wellington, thinking, That’s pretty sweet. I’ve often wondered what became of it, as I haven’t seen it rolling the 5018 for quite some time.

While I can recall it having a couple of stacks poking out of the top of the hood, what Dave has done to it since is remarkable, turning the already tough streeter into a pretty wild ride.
Dave bought it from the previous owner in Wellington during the summer of 2021, and it spent a couple of summers racking up smiles per miles with Dave in Whatawhata until June of 2022, when he took it off the road for a spruce up.
