Title: "Ultra Truck Latest Entry in the series of way-out show machined constructed in the Darryl Starbird tradition."
Look like a '62 Chevy 1-ton cab? Well, it started out that way until some sheet metal magic and Starbird know-how go a hold of it, to turn it into the 'ultra" in dream trucks.
Nearly everything on and in way out cab was hand formed in Darryl's Wichita shop. A bit of chrome plated streamline tubing went into grille, license plate holder.
Headlights and taillights were made from a slab of Lucite plastic, as was the top which boats an all metal rear section. Hinged at the rear, it is push-button-control operated.
The frame is shortened '55 Chevy; front suspension set up is stock '55, though the undercarriage has been chrome plated. Rear coil spring is mounted in custom housing.
Mill is '56 Buick, loaded with chrome and supporting handmade air clean on 4-bbl carb. Trans is '56 Dynaflow. Upholstered bed contains battery and gas tank.
Interior was entirely hand-sculptured in metal, including the dash which sports S-W gauges. Stitching was all done in pleaded white Naugahyde. Brilliant exterior finish is "Essence of Iced Tangerine."
The truck was soon re-named "Orange Hauler", a name given by Monogram Models, who sold many styrene kits of the truck. Monogram later awarded the Orange Hauler as part of a clever contest, designed to reduce their inventory of no-longer-popular custom vehicles.
