While our pizza is definitely the star of the show, our truck is often what wows people first. ๐ช๐ฒ ๐ด๐ฒ๐ ๐ถ๐, ๐๐ต๐ฒ'๐ ๐ฐ๐ผ๐ผ๐น ๐ฎ๐ ๐ต๐ฒ๐น๐น.
Manufactured in Fort Wayne, Indiana, during the post-WWII boom, our 1949 International Harvester KB7 has been on quite a journey.
The truck was originally purchased by an oil company in Western Wyoming. She would remain there for the next 70 years, laboring as an oil field roustabout in the shadow of the Grand Tetons Range and Yellowstone National Park. At some point our truck was put out to pasture where it endured many winters like a wild west bison, unphased by nature's torment.
In 2021 we were fortunate enough to buy this American classic and give it a new lease on life. Our team took on the monumental task of not only restoring this classic but making it functional enough to use for a business. Rather than restoring the original chassis and motor, we determined that our business would need a lot more horsepower and reliability than we could ever get out of the original truck. We purchased a brand new 2021 Ford E-450 commercial vehicle chassis and set about the daunting task of integrating the original 1949 truck body with a modern 2021 chassis.
In 2022 our โFranken-truckโ came to life! Thanks to the hard work of our incredibly skilled manufacturers the truck is truly one of a kind. A rolling piece of art. We have harnessed all the power and reliability of modern technology while being able to maintain the art deco beauty of a truck manufactured in 1949. With the addition of our authentic wood fired pizza oven and catering kitchen, we are ready to party!
