Didn't George Barris build this?

UPDATE: Yup, it is. The same '21 Olds customized for this episode:

Yes you are correct. Two versions of the Hot Rod Truck were driven by Jethro in the show. This half converted one and the fully customized one. I sent pictures of both but they only posted this one.

There is a '21 Olds Roadster under all that.
