Oh my! That's cool,

I would like to see it sometime!

Sorry, I already proved it was built in 47!

Had a great show at the low rider capital of the world! People really liked truck because it rides so low!
Had a man offer $8500! Didn't take it!
The article that came out on the truck was short but sweeeet! I'll post a picture of it

Hey Jake,
Well I only got to go to one car show this summer but the truck was a big hit!
It is coming out in the magazine I mentioned in January or February.
I haven't got it running yet but still plan to.
The man that made me that offer to buy the truck keeps badgering me to sell to him but I am holding out because I think the truck is the "King of Cool"
I found an article from the micro film from the Southern California library system, where it talks about all the many things the Entrapenure  Muntz did in his lifetime. Many failures but many successful business adventures  and one being that he worked on the development of a car that could be used like a truck!
Take care

Really cool!
I like the old service vehicles!
Cool cool cool

What is the grill on this '52 pickup?  It doesn't look like a Kaiser grill.

The yellow and orange Kaiser pickup on eBay didn't sell! I think it's a very cool ride with great patina! It was a shop truck back in the day.

I just noticed that this post has almost 20,000 views! I think that's a record for the forum.

Henry Kaiser Jr. was the manager of the K-F plant in Long Beach up until 1949.  I recently managed to buy a memo from Henry Kaiser Jr. to his brother Edgar, the President of Kaiser Frazer Corp in Willow Run, telling him about how a former K-F dealer in San Diego made a pickup truck out of a wrecked Kaiser in 1948 and that it was presently owned by a dealer in Downey CA.  The memo wanted Edgar to see how a Kaiser pickup would look.  The memo was sent with seven professionally made photos of the truck.  That certainly indicates that Kaiser had no information about the trucks until 1948 when the memo was sent.  Many Kaisers and Frazers were made into pickups and convertibles over the years and they are certainly interesting.

Yes, I read in "Old Rides" that one you just described was made from a wreck!
Really cool truck and history!

Jake, you are right, cool picture, but I'm bias

Got the motor turning over! Lacking spark!
Getting closer, can't wait to drive through town!

Brakes working with better tires. Still want to put original rims on it.
I'm also still looking for original 47  caps, in very user condition!

Man I love that car/truck! Wish it wasn't so far away from me or I may consider it! The old hand painted advertisement is kook!
Why would you have to delete from the form? It's got a good place here!
