Jeepers Creepers truck is on sale on FTE?

This guys truck looks just like the one on that "Jeepers Creepers" movie. You know, he's tailgating those kids in the old car and runs em off the road and eats one of em . Thats one creepy lookin truck. It would make a cool ice cream truck. Oooh, now I gotta have some ice cream.

No offense intended to the owner, just my opinion. Would be a cool truck to restore.

$1500 seems kind of steep to me. I bet it isn't worth that much to scrap.

I disagree. It looks somewhat solid. I like the rare, oddball stuff that no one else has. Icy blue flames, chrome wheels, blackouts, and limo tint, oh and dont forget an 545 stroker and its one bad Ice cream truck. MMMMMMMM, rocky road.

I like this truck too. Thats just sooo cool.

Well, you young folk have no appreciation for beauty in old iron. I'd love to have that beast. It'd make a nice camper and just customizing it would be pretty cool. That truck's outlasted most of anything that's put on the road today, will ever last. Mark my words on that.

Just cuz it isn't a 40 Ford Coupe or pickup, don't mean nada. That puppy is cool.

Check out the hand crank on front of the truck. I bet it takes some muscle to crank that engine off by hand. Hope it has compression release valve!!!

Better have you a couple of mugs full before you try cranking it to get the blood flowing.
Or you could just get it straight from the tap. I bet it did'nt stay cold very long. Nothing like a good chug of some hot beer.

I posted the wrong pic from the site- that is a 51.
This is a 41, 2.5ton, but same basic truck-


The turbo screech in that truck was annoying. Sounded like it needed a bit of work. Not to mention the odd-sounding horn.
