Is the Preston Aero still around or has it gone the way of the dodo?

I apologize for bumping such an old topic. I'm just infatuated with unique one-off trucks like this.

I love it. Thank you for sharing these photos.

Correction, I don't know what it is.  I know it isn't factory built.  It has parts that cover multiple years and many of those parts have been modified.  I took pictures of it when it was being built by the owner as it appears today.  I didn't see the truck when it was a single axle.  

As it appears today? Oh, please do tell! 

Thank you!

Does anyone know what model this is?

Fascinating! How many of these Australian "cab unders" were built? Do any of them still exist?

From May 1977 article of Commercial Car Journal. All credit goes to John Frances over at Just Old Trucks for originally sharing these.

Greetings everyone,

Long time lurker, first time poster. About 5 years ago a user by the name of 41chevy posted some pictures of this rather unique truck called the "Performance Cab". It was built by a company called Design Project Engineering out of Orem, Utah. From the very limited information I can find on the internet they were constructed upon a GMC Astro chassis and that only 5 or 6 were ever built. Interestingly, one made an appearance in the 1994 made for TV movie "Override". Anyway, ever since I stumbled upon the original topic, I have always wondered what became of these trucks? Do any of them still exist or have they all met their fate in a junkyard?
