Vladislav 2,393 Posted December 21, 2018 Sad thing - the e-bay page said "May not be shipped to Russian federation" Nice color combo. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
1977vega 187 Posted December 21, 2018 I watched the video. I scratched my head a few times, and learned nothing. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wingman 45 Posted December 22, 2018 I drove a truck for Giant 35 years and this truck was our parade ready, completely rebuilt show piece. I have driven it in the past, 673 with unishift. Giant made many truck showpieces in their shop for their drivers and shop. Unfortunately the company was bought out by a holding corp. and sold off everything and chopped the company up and sold most of the assets. Sad end to a good company. I wanted to buy this truck but didn't have the money then(new child) . Wish I could have it now but the owner is asking to much! 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I remember Giant having the show trucks and seeing them at different events and promotions. I have several friends that worked their careers with Giant and it was always the "place to shop" until the company was sold. I don;t know anything about calliopes or how much they would add to the value of the unit but it is one nice truck & trailer. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

wingman 45 Posted December 29, 2018 That is correct, Royal Ahold. Giant of Carlisle runs the show and writes the checks! 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
