I met Steve Hess in Bloomsburg, PA. July 10-12, 1992. He and Kirk Dabney were working for Marty Garza with the Maximum Overkill truck at the time.

Kirk Dabney bought this truck and it was repainted by Jeff Cook and his dad Jack and became Thunderstruck in 1991. Jeff drove the truck in 1992.

I scanned these pictures from Magazines that I purchased.
