    Default What happened to these trucks...

    What ever happened with all these trucks?
    I know where most trucks end up once they are sold, but some I have no idea where they went cause I may have not seen them in a few years, or maybe there sitting waiting to be finished.
    I know there's more trucks out there that you may be wondering about, so post up.

    Like the 1st truck. I know a well know bike builder was building it in Long Beach(now WCC), but I have no idea if it was ever finished or who has it

    I think CR Films on here still has the old Baker Explorer. There was a picture of the Dalton truck in another thread with a different paint job.

    Manfroys ranger I believe is done for after a bad roll.

    Pops ranger is still around, and I am sure owned by the same people.

    That's about all I know. I'm interested to hear about the rest.

    The black Baja Shop truck with the Checkered flag is Dan Vance's old truck.

    I guess it just proves that you have no respect for something that you didn't have to work for or build. no matter what it is.

    The black ranger, 708, is gone. Like Markus mentioned, it was totaled at last years new years dash. Half dozen endos at 80 MPH killed the truck worse than ever before. Not a tube was left straight. Co dog seat ripped from the mounts, and he broke a few ribs. Very, very sad. Truck raced for 12 or 13 years.

    I read somewhere else that Hemp is getting ready to race? And the pictures of Dalton's truck were pre-green. Helton should know what's up with him. And I'm STILL waiting to see pictures of Samuri's Dan has built....

    What happened to Guzzet's truck late 80's yota with ESB kit and 4 link off the axle?

    I know he had it for sale years ago but never sold I think. I always had eyes for that truck.

    Bako Expo is owned by a friend Jason (CRFilms) And it just sits over in their shop in Bellflower. It's sad to see it just sitting there, because the thing has so much potential. Same with the ranger cab/Frame project they have going on. Maybe they'll wanna sell the cab for my next build.. Hmm...

    HEMP's ranger was/is one of my fav trucks BY FAR! I have always loved that truck.. ESP after he got the 2" cage built.

    It sucks that it took so long for the real info on Baker to come out, it never would have been purchased if they/we knew the real deal with CEO's truck, CEO's truck was actually part of the reason it was purchased.

    From what I was told, Baker did almost none of the work on that thing. They might have lucked out.....

    So I am gonna ask permission first before I post can I post some pictures of trucks i have sold to people over the years to see if anyone of them are still out there, all my trucks have sold to people from RDC. They are by no means as famous or nice as any of these posted or talked about, I just dont want to taint the thread with my trucks.
    Here is a link to my truck build 99 Ford Ranger 4x4.

    So here are my trucks that I have always wondered if they were ever put to good use after i sold them. This first truck is my first attempt at a prerunner when I was 18 which was 6 years ago now I had the truck completed for about 4 months when it was stolen and stripped, I ended up catching the guy who stole the crap and got everything back. So the first few pictures are when it was in its glory and the last few pictures are of the chassis how I sold it and also of the destroy beams I sold. I heard that they got the truck back to drivable and beat the hell out of it, is it still around. The beams were sold to some guy of RDC so i was wondering if they were still around.

    2nd truck is one of my favorite trucks which I shouldn't have sold its a 1994 ranger, it had drop brackets with camburg coil buckets and rancho extended radius arms, the guy who bought it said he had big plans, it was a 3.0 with a 5 speed, i put 5.13 gears in it that bitch was quick for what it was.

    3rd is a buggy i bought and never touched I sold it on RDC did it ever get back to driveable state.

    4th is my first ranger project truck that I sold just how it is in the pictures a mob of guys came and picked it up and said they were gonna cage it ad stuff, I think they mentioned using it for ROR.

    5th is my last sold truck it sold a few months back I think the guy said he was on here I was just wondering the progress on the truck.

    the baker expo is a real joke. there is no leg room at all. must of been built for someone with no legs. as for the truck i saw it just the other day and i still drool over it. the fab work looks clean but i am not sure after CEO's truck. cr films and his brother own it. and dont want to touch it until their fab work improves. but their ranger cab/ project is coming along pretty good. i know the links are welded up and some of the mounts for the link. they have beams swingers and beam mounts all ready to go on. last i heard they were on the mullen fabworks waiting list to get a full cab cage. but dont know. ill ask tonight

    Man I remember seeing that truck in the truck trader like5 or so years ago, and it's cool shaved door handles and destroy beams. I actually wanted to buy it but had no money as I was 16 years old.

    Maybe some of the older DR member's will remember if this is the same truck that was floating around years ago. I believe it used to be white and there was a rear pic of it facing a garage. It may have been owned by someone in AZ.

    Anyone know if the new owner of Nandi's truck is on DR?
