I talked to Steve Dane on the phone a couple days ago (8/20/06). He had many questions about new vs. old trucks, and who is still running from the old days. Steve seems very impressed with the way the trucks are built and what abuse they can take and keep going today. You can view their website at www.yourpup.com

I took the first 5 pictures in Raleigh, NC. in 1988. You can see that the photographer for the magazine and I must have taken shots 5 & 6 from nearly the same spot.

I scanned these pictures from Magazines that I purchased.

I took these pictures with a video capture card from a TV show.

Justin Spulak sent me this shot.

I built this truck for the Monster Truck Madness 2 game. Click Here.
