About 5 years ago, I was working on a Transformers movie that was shooting at Desert Valley Auto Parts in Phoenix. Big robot rumble in the junkyard. We were rigging the 4 aught cable for lighting and FX. I got dropped off by the driver, and was looking to join up with the Riggers when I passed a complete '68 Stepside. I stopped to look at it, when I heard:
''HEY YOU! What're doing there?''
'Looking for the film crew,' I answered.
''Oh. OK. They're over that way, by the fence,'' he said, in a much milder tone.
The dude sure was protective. They used to shoot a reality TV show there "Desert Valley Kings'' a Chop /Cut /Rebuild format show.
You'ld think I was gonna swag a Rear View Mirror, or something...
I think they were saving that Stepside for a sale as a whole truck. Never found anything more about it.

PIX: A couple views of the Hero Truck. A '69 K/5 with factory rocket launchers.
