Description[]
The Twister Pickup was a casting planned for an unknown "gimmick" line. It features a hinge in the middle allowing the front or rear to twist sideways. The official name is unknown, the "Twister" name comes from the certificate of authenticity included with resin prototypes from the Larry Wood collection. The certificate of authenticity for the resin prototypes from the Luis Montesdeoca collection claim the casting was called "Tail Gunner 5T" but this is likely incorrect. Design wise this is a generic boxy step-side pickup with a blower & roll bar. Judging by the decals and overall design this was likely tooled in the early 90s. A race car from the same line also exists, for that see Twister Race Car.
3 painted resin samples are known to exist:
- A White & Black version with decals, from the Luis Montesdeoca collection.
- A Red and Yellow version without decals, from the Larry Wood collection.
- A White & Black version without decals, from the Larry Wood collection.
