              A HALL OF FAME LEGENDS SERIES

                    FEATURE PRESENTATION:

                   

          "THE  ROD & CUSTOM DREAM TRUCK SAGA", PT. 2

IN PART 1, Spence Murray, the founding Editor of Rod & Custom Magazine, gave us his first-hand account of the crash, parting-out, and eventual sale of the wrecked body. 

NOW IN PART 2, we follow the mystery of the missing truck: The 20 year search for the Industries first "step-by-step-build-up" vehicle, and one of most famous Customs in History, it's eventual being found and restored, and where it is today:  "THE ROD & CUSTOM DREAM TRUCK" !

 PLUS, in an exclusive Interview that I did with one of the original Master Builders of the Dream Truck, the Legendary GEORGE BARRIS, George gave me his reaction to what had happened to the truck after the accident when Spence had it towed back to his shop in L.A.  and he got to take a good look at it !  This you won't want to miss !!    JK
