Hillbillies Hot Rod Truck Ed Next Designed
Turnpike Hauler At Barris Kustoms
Back the early seventies,the designer named
Ed Newt designed this cool truck.There was one
man that could pull off building such wild vehicles,
no I am not talking George Barris, I talking about
Dick Dean, who built the custom truck with injector
tubes from a large wine barrel. The cab is cut out
to carry a custom interior.It was no surprise that
he used the same building concept for the fire
engine red gold base 1926 Oldsmobile for the Hot
Rod truck for Beverly Hillbillies. Please people
George Barris found a 1926 Oldsmobile truck
for the hot rod version. Only the auction off real
1921 Oldsmobile truck, was that year. The 1926
Oldsmobile had no headlights, which the idea
came from a drawing with lightning bolts with
white bench seats. It was this drawing on cheap
butcher paper, that made this custom to be built
for the race against granny with triple XXX
moonshine for fuel.
It was Dick Dean who built these and more at
at Barris Kustoms. George Barris main body man
was Dick Dean,who did the scroll work on both
Munster Koach#1 and build the car.He had help
with Barris crew,and 1984 built Munster Koach#2
The Dragula he built four.Only the first was used
in film.
If you love the Surf Woody,and most of Barris
Kustoms,it is because he built them.He could of
had help,but he was George Barris right hand
man.Without Dick Dean,George Barris big life
of success,wouldn't have happen.After all how
long can a guy go,without a professional body
man that could build everything,Barris wanted
to fulfill those contracts,orders for every major
player? Not long.
Both Monkeemobiles #1,and 2 Jeffries had
Dick Dean help him,and both Black Beauty's
too.He build both unauthorized Dean Jeffries
cars,as The Monkeemobile #3,which was a'66
Pontiac Catalina,instead of a GTO.He built
many versions of the Black Beauty.He also built
The Monkeemobile #4 AMT car,in 1999,so
The Monkeemobile would be back for us to build.
Mecum Auctions had the winnning bid from a man
in Florida.This man in Florida,had the car mags
changed to full size,as in the show,and has no
Monkees logo on the car.It is very possible that
this number #4 car,will be used for the real new
production movie of The Monkees life for new
generations.
That custom dragster in color is a candy blue.
Dick Dean designed this dragster and called it
Dragster For Two.
The Bathtub,was built from pipes you find
in house plumbing.Dean Dick was definitely
needed to make those headers work,if not
more.This was a Monagram model car kit.
Before people were making many Corvette
Nomads, like General Motors experimental
car, Dick Dean built the first one.
Look in the black and white photos and these
were all built by Dick Dean, besides the Barris
Kustom cars.Also yellow convertible was by
Dick Dean. The Mail Truck ,The Monkees
with #1 Monkeemobile and Black Beauty
with Green Hornet and Kato in color and
also black and white. (Dick Dean helped
Dean Jeffries in building both Black-
Beauties and both Monkeemobiles used in
these two series at Barris Kustoms.)
This a copy of the famous Lil B...Car that
Jeffries built with the #1 Batmobile that Dean
Jeffries built,for James Dean.The ZRR,
Munster Koaches#1 and 2, also four Dragula's
Surf Woody pictures shows how Dick Dean
built this famous Barris Kustom. You See
the Ice Cream Truckand Wine Barrel Truck,
I have the Hillbillies Hot Rod Truck Olds and
1921 Olds Truck used for the show. I have so
many files, I have locate them.
I have many extra files I keep of these cars
for you to enjoy.
