Re: info on this panel truck
The 2nd photo was taken at Goodguys Spokane in August. We spoke with the owner and believe it was built in either Coeur d’Alene or Hayden Idaho. I’ve zoomed in on both photos I took and the glare makes it impossible to read the details on the sign. The only thing I can make out is the name “Gold Rush” at the top. According to the owner it is a factory stock 9’ bed panel truck. The few changes from stock I can remember include air suspension, full custom upholstery, and the rear doors were welded shut and molded into a solid back end.
The paint and bodywork were completely flawless, which was really incredible considering the amount of sheet metal. From my perspective there were only two detractions – the welded rear doors turned the rear body into a claustrophobic fire trap, and the $80,000 asking price seemed a bit steep for a one of a kind vehicle with limited practicality. It was on Ebay for a while but the reserve was never met.

Re: info on this panel truck
A shop local to me built that panel. The name of the business is Cinderella Customs, in Post Falls Idaho.
I did talk with a friend of the owner, at GoodGuys last Summer. I don't remember what the suspension was for sure, but I'm pretty sure it was a truck based suspension.

Re: info on this panel truck
Just spoke with the owner/builder of this panel about an hour ago. I was at his shop and he does quality work. I'm going to try doing my own bodywork and will take all my screw ups to him to fix. lol
