Vic Hickey design - cool truck, but will probably sell at Mecum for way too much....sigh

Re: Steve McQueen's truck at Mecum
 

why?

Re: Steve McQueen's truck at Mecum
 

the C10 cab might have been crapped out with rust in areas that were not easily repairable. My truck has a C20 cab. Perfect shape.

Re: Steve McQueen's truck at Mecum
 

sounded like thats the way it was originally built.
If its not the original cab its not really mcqueens truck is it? or he was the one that had the cab swap done?

Re: Steve McQueen's truck at Mecum
 

I am saying when they built it to be a Baja truck, they might have done that to save money and time

Re: Steve McQueen's truck at Mecum
 

that would be a cool truck to make a clone of. its really cool but there is no way i could ever afford the real thing.

Re: Steve McQueen's truck at Mecum
 

couldn't you verify the vin (VIN: KE149Z810013) which is correct for 1/2 ton against the frame (assuming its original) for a match? my guess is the rivets are not original that hold the plate on.

Re: Steve McQueen's truck at Mecum
 

Wonder why it don't have the Hickey hood?

Re: Steve McQueen's truck at Mecum
 

Does the truck still belong to Baja1000 or someone else??

Re: Steve McQueen's truck at Mecum
 

i love seeing historical baja trucks.
iv always heard of the hicky c10 but never saw it

over here is offroad capital of the country and is crawling with all the biggest teams and names
so i wouldnt be suprised if alot of people over here are not bidding on it

Re: Steve McQueen's truck at Mecum
 

Trying to catch several things here. That auction copy is from an article about the truck from a while back showcasing it and its mods. The cab bs is simply because the author stated marker lights were only on the 1-ton up cabs so it was a COPO C30 cab!!! The drop hoods came out after this truck was built. In fact we have yet to document a Hickey mfg. drop hood for the 69-72 trucks.

it is a cool truck. wonder how many times steve raced it , and did it ever win any baja races.

Re: Steve McQueen's truck at Mecum
 

i like it and want to see more pics of the drivetrain

Re: Steve McQueen's truck at Mecum
 

Probably won't sell. I think they say "The bid continues" when it doesn't sell.

Re: Steve McQueen's truck at Mecum
 

That truck was built as you see it,from day-1. The latest owner joined up here and we talked a lot about it. He also has/had a historically significant Blazer. I was going to sell him some Hickey accessories tanks and other stuff but he kinda disappeared. I never knew it ever belonged to McQueen.

Re: Steve McQueen's truck at Mecum
 

Interesting read ...

Re: Steve McQueen's truck at Mecum
 

Interesting. I wouldn't bid unless I had money to burn. I do like McQueen tho. He's up there with Bronson Newman and a few other Hollywood types that had substance over hype. Imho
