World's Only Deere Pickup
 ✖  |
I bought a 1968 Ford 3/4-ton pickup with about a million miles on it this spring for $675. I guess you could have called it calico-colored by the time I got it," says Shannon Rupnow about a vehicle he turned into the world's only Deere pickup.
The pickup is painted with authentic Deere green and yellow paint to resemble a "Gator," which is what Rupnow nicknamed it.
"It was just something different to do," explains Rupnow. "It only took about a week to do the actual painting with authentic Deer paint which I got from our local dealer. However, it took much longer to plan all the stripes, stenciling, lettering, etc., all of which are traditional Deere yellow, as are the wheel rims. The rest, naturally, is Deere green.
"The project turned out to be a little more involved than I'd planned, and I had a lot of help from friends."
