Evel Knievel resto


Recommended Posts

The F-model is on Shipping Wars right now for anyone who did not see it

I just caught it tonight. I got a good laugh from it.

It sounds like Robb Mariani wants the Evel truck finished for the Diesel Trucking Nationals in September of this year. I'd like to see the finished product and I hope ETC stays close to original with this one. Red or Blue?

If you notice, the red trailer has tandem axles and the blue one has a single. The one that is currently with the truck has a single axle so I would think it's supposed to be blue. So if the trailer is supposed to be blue, I would think they should paint the whole rig with the blue color scheme. But that's just a thought.

I think this truck is gonna be another great old Mack back on the road and its a double threat, there is only ! evil truck and there are very few F models so I all for it I may have to make it to the first show to check it out. Oh and Shipping Wars is freakin "STUPID AS HELL", not only do they not have a freakin clue about real trucking the added drama makes it unbearable for me!

Ben,

I think it's the same trailer and in the pic of the blue paint scheme the trailer is a tandem. Enlarge it and look again.

Hmmmm that is true. In the small pic it looked like a single. But I do know that the one that is currently with the truck is a single because I saw it on TV. I wonder whats up with that?

The truck replacement cab is in the Elizebeth Truck Center in N.J. and the trailer was / is a dual axle
