Looks like roberts truck with the 4 link in the rear. The front wheels and also the slicks looks exactly like his set up a while back also the exhaust. But the only thing that is throughing me off on it is the difference in size of the tires. the rears are a good bit taller than the front. But may just be an opitcal olusion.

My vote is a photoshop of Robert's truck too.

Anyone notice the stripes on the side overlap the front of the door gap? A cool photoshop for sure though.

well its obviously [poorly] photoshopped. look at the marlboro stripes that go across the door to the fender. Aside from the stripes being super wrong...there is no gap in the stripe when leaving the door and hitting the fender.

then look at a real one..

Yeah, I thought the truck looked more like a painting or drawing than a photo.

plus i don't recall a muffler like that ever on roberts truck...or a dent in the rear cladding. Plus those seats looks like 93 fat man seats

Re: Marlboro Clone (pic)

tire height on the front tires are way off compared to roberts...plus the rim doesn't look at the right angle compared to the tire, look at the roundness of the rim - pretty sure that rim is chopped onto the pic.

also roberts truck woulda had a cage in it.

The hard part is finding the real truck.....18 on the window, decal on the mirror...theres got to be an original picture somewhere

Might be a photoshopped pic but not sure. Saw a truck very much like this one this summer. Very built engine and only rear wheel drive. Stille the v6 but had a2a, nothing close to stock anything execpt the block, all chrome and show looked. Didnt get a chance to take any pics or talk to the owner as I was up at tech (dragrace event) and when I was done the truck was gone. Never seen it before and never later, he didnt even race it. Only Norwegian Sy I ever have seen in real person.... (if it truelly was a real that is)

Re: Marlboro Clone (pic)

is that the artist's name scribbled on the mirror? the autograph is usually hidden somewhere. :tup:
