I have seen Sam and his many recreations in Bloomsburg, PA. for years. This truck started out as a wrecked stock 1971 Jeep Commando. Sam built it up and called it Porcupine. Then Porcupine II, then came the Dodge body, then new paint job, then new suspension, then bigger tires. Last I heard the truck had flipped and been sold. You can see the Porcupine II in my show truck site under Jeeps.
