This old girl showed up on Barnfinds.com today and it hit me right in all the sensitive spots. This rig is an exact copy of Chewbacca back in the day, except for the Diesel badges on the fenders and the license plate arrangement on the tailgate. Like this truck Chewbacca was a 1978 painted Siam Yellow with no exterior trim, had all four stock hubcaps, a color-matched traveltop with no roof rack, and inside was the same Tanbark high-back bucket seats, rubber floor mats, green accents, and 4-speed stick. Chewbacca had regular side mirrors and BFG Mud-Terrains. The example for sale has some serious rust in the rockers and quarter panels, some road rash and there’s a Nissan diesel under the hood, but if I squint just a little bit I can see ol’ Chewbacca parked out in front of my house waiting for another trip to the beach.
