What was the inspiration?
I was tired of building the same old stuff. And I wanted to build something off the wall that everyone would like - and who could hate an ice cream truck? We all SCREAM for ice cream.

Vehicle history
This used to be an original 1968 Good Humor ice cream truck that was retired to a junk yard in Cinncinati Ohio. It was rusted beyond belief. And had no motor. I cut out all the rust and hand made all the new panels for it.
