"This truck was professionally converted in 1994 using some parts from a
1979 Navy truck (by Jet Industries) along with some newer parts. It was used
for 4 years by a full time builder/contracter (myself) as the primary work
vehicle. It was designed for a 35 mile range and performed well. It is in
need of refueling (batteries cost approx. $1250 and last 4-5 years if well
maintained). Currently in good running condition. Many spare parts and
details available on request. 108-volt traction pack + twelve volt
auxiliary; New Curtis controller; K&W charger on board; 14,000 miles on
conversion; 9" G.E. motor;"

It is in Olympic Penninsula, WA, and the auction ends May-07-00 21:08:00 PDT
  The current price is $2500, with no bids.

As always, this is not an endorsement, and I know nothing of the truck.

There's also an ad for this truck in Electrifying Times which also includes
a

I did see this truck on several occasions in Port Townsend WA probably
during 1996 thru 1998.  It was in good condition except for an aging  battery
pack when I last saw it.  If an EV like this interests you e-mail Greg or better
yet call him at 360-385-4265.  I'd seriously consider it myself if I didn't already
have a good EV pickup truck.
