1 of 1 "Top Hand" Trail Duster to be at Spring Fling this weekend. Not sure which day they will show up.

It will come along with Chuck Conners' prototype "Top Hand"

The guy doing some work to it says Roy Rogers owned it? Does that sound right?

Wow that is nice. I have a 78 top hand power wagon. It doesn't look like that though.

Is this the one that Kim bought, if so it really looks awesome now. I sold her a NOS roof rack for it. Here's a picture of my survivor Top Hand Ram Charger.

I believe so.

Is it really 1 of 1? If so, why?

Was it owned by Roy Rogers (or other celeb)?

In one of the first pics you posted notice the same plate as the pic I just posted. It's a very cool pair.

It is actually a Woman who did the restoration....
It is the prototype Top Hand Trailduster that Vic Hickey built in mid 77 to see how the public liked them. She also owns the prototype power wagon Top Hand, that Chuck Connors aka "The Rifelman" use to own....
I can say that I did have my hand in some of this trail duster...kinda helped a bunch with it including the fire that got it started...

she had (has?) it for sale a while back, for what i recall was a price that was quite clearly insane.

Just stumbled over this thread and realized that a buddy was there and took some photos.
He´s not a truck guy but know´s that I am and so he just took this pictures for me...

Enjoy !
