Near the bottom of the page. Very nicely done--except for the terribly fugly bumpers!

Wow, that was really cool. I love looking at the old dealerships, and stuff. The Kaiser pick-up was really nice. I agree, the bumper would look better with the factory front bumper. I assume he was trying to give it a truck look with that bumper. Any idea what happened to it? I would love to have something like that. I always enjoyed looking at photos of Mike Barkers batmobile. Funny, becasue I am a pursit, not into hotrods stuff, these custom pick ups, ect. are really cool.

"Mad Man" Muntz, prior to building a car using his name, was a KF dealer in California. He had several 48 Kaisers made into pickups using Ford and Studebaker beds. I saw one a few years back and it was well done.

Speaking of Muntz, there's one I see at a car rally I attend quite often in the summer (I think I remember summer).
