We restored a really cool old bread truck .

The truck- It all started when we stumbled upon the old girl sitting behind a building in Pine Brook NJ. The truck is a 1953 International Harvester Metro, model RM-150. The truck is all original. Straight 6 Silver Diamond 220 Motor, 3 speed on the tree. The trucks most recent history- it was used as a television prop on a TV show called Storyforia. It was owned by Little Airplanes productions in NYC. The truck was then sent to storage in 2008 where is was abandon and sat for 10 years.

​

Chef Koch Purchased the truck for $400 dollars, and had her towed home. It was a true diamond in the rough. With help from John Martellacci (Luc's dad) and other family / friends; we were able to complete the construction of truck in about 7 months time. The truck took a collective time of approximately 1500 hours of work. 

​

The truck, being original in drive train, and chassis, is fully customized with metal fabricated parts, electrical, propane, and water systems,and all hand painted graphics to finish her off!
