Danno Posted May 5, 2014 Share Posted May 5, 2014 Dr K. You were not losing your mind. The Orange Hauler was constructed from a '62 Chevy pickup cab on a '55 Chevy passenger car frame. I had the good fortune to hang out at Star Kustoms a little during the summer when Darryl was building the Ultra Truck (Monogram renamed it the Orange Hauler). I was surprised to see he was using a truck cab to build a custom, but even more surprised to see the finished product!!! And, by the way, Starbird was a truly great man. He graciously tolerated a young teenager hanging around, contributing little although making every effort to stay out of the way, and even provided some narrative of what he was doing as he went. Had I more sense back then, I would have parlayed that into a part-time job, then full-time job, then career. Or at least, tried. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Florent Posted December 26, 2014 Share Posted December 26, 2014 Very nicely built. This is my style of old school short tracker. This is reminding me memories. Back in 1970-71 and '72 I took pictures of 3 different Novas / Chevy IIs running in the Late Model Sportsman cars at Riverside Speedway, on the northshore of Montreal. I really like your Nova!
