OLD BANANA

JOSEPH ROCHA « ADELANTO, CA

Joseph wanted to build an off road utility truck but it almost didn’t happen because he couldn’t source the Proline Utility bed that he wanted to base his project on. At the time, he had ordered RC Exclusive’s utility boxes, which were perfect to use in Proline’s bed. Luckily, he was able to source one from a seller in Australia. Joseph wanted an old faded paint look for the truck so Old Banana was painted by SNT GFX. He coupled the paint with some Axial rust stickers that he found to create the look that he was looking for. Not only does it look great, he reports that Old Banana is a great tow rig to boot. We’re loving it!
