There is a lot of interest, and there are more orders than we can afford to cash flow. We are accepting $600 deposits in order to place your order at the front of the queue. You will be billed the balance once it ships.

If you do not want to place a $600 deposit, then we will still accept your order. We will bill you in full when it ships. But we will process your order after the customers who provided a deposit.

Thank you for your understanding on the deposits.

You can place your orders at our online retailer: www.truckcandy.com
Please state if you are willing to pay a deposit or not in the Comment field at the top of the personal information page when ordering online.
