Seeking a Black 1970's or 1990's Truck with big wheels

[zakofalltrades]

Hi everyone, this is my first post here. I'm trying to find someone willing to rent out their black truck - ideally something older, from the 90's or even 80's or 70's that is in great condition with big wheels. I'm including some examples. Grey color would also work. We'd like to rent it to feature it in a spark plug commercial ad. I'd be interested in any referrals or suggestions! It's a very picky ask, but I'm going as far as offering commission for anyone who helps me find the one we choose. But any help would be great! Thanks for your input!
This is going to take place in the Raleigh-Durham area.

Does it have to run and drive?

It does!

Would a diesel work?

Can it be white? @zakofalltrades

something older, from the 90's

Looks like big wheels are still sold, that part should be easy:

Robot or human?

If only we were shooting a big wheels ad!

Oh I know the feeling. In the movie Back to the Future, the 50's were our 90's.

It's bad that I knew what that was going to link to, before I even clicked it.

Oh man that's a great one. We might have to settle for something newer.

@zakofalltrades - are you open to old Broncos, too?

Also, are you still trying to find a Challenger?

yes!

You seem nice and well intentioned, so I'll offer some advice. Diesel trucks don't have spark plugs. I would not recommend using a diesel truck unless the ad is satirical or they do not care about alienating people who know things about cars/trucks.

Also, where is the shoot happening? You say it must run, who will be driving it? Is there insurance for anything? Trucks of that time period in great condition isn't a cheap vehicle.

All I got of the title.

The fact that the poster said a diesel would work screams scam and/or someone just trying to be stupid. I’d forget this thread

I can attest to the fact that this is a legit opportunity. I have met the OP in person and encouraged him to post here hoping that someone could help out (and maybe help someone here make some extra scratch).

Also, someone earlier asked about driver and insurance - here's some additional detail:

We are STILL on the lookout for a Dodge Challenger! The older the better. We need to rent one for a commercial shoot. It will be handled by a trained professional driver and all insurance will be covered. This is an URGENT call for referrals to rent this vehicle at the end of this month - the 28th and 30th of January! Please get in direct touch with me ASAP!
