The Beef Caprice

[K5Devil]

Hey guys,

I want you to meet our new band van.
“THE BEEF CAPRICE”

It’s a 1974 G30 Box truck.


Me and my pops went and picked it up Vice grip garage style. I bought it sight unseen just because it’s an early nose on a box body. It oozes cool. 1 ton so has hydro boost and duals in the rear. Hadn’t been on the road since 1992 and we drove it 200 miles last night. Needs lots of stuff but I love it.

We had a early 80's G30 we used as a race van when I was desert racing. It was awesome and it jumped pretty good too!

No, this thing ain’t getting slammed. It’s too low already to get to some of the hidden desert venues out here.
