What a sweet find! I thought our K-18's were rare, this might have us beat. Does the body look factory? My first thought is somebody sliced a K-18 in half and added the mid section to fit there needs. I think a careful inspection would reveal a lot. You truck really is quite cool, probably the...

The photo with the transmitter and remote control unit. Thats the interior of a K18 right?
