It’s not every day someone wins a Chuck Norris modified diesel truck and it finally became official for Pat Bode of Price when the truck was delivered to him on Tuesday in Price. The truck drew a lot of attention from main street traffic stopping into the downtown Maverik location.
Earlier this fall Pat had his name drawn out of a hat containing 11 names and was declared the winner. He described the event as a very big surprise.
“Never in a million years did we think that we would win. To tell you the truth, I was just along for the ride and what a great ride this will be,” said Bode.
And the ride has taken him and his wife Jennifer to the same location as Chuck Norris where they had the opportunity to talk with Chuck and his wife Gina.
“They are just down to earth good people,” said Bode.
Pat even remembers one of the Chuck Norris jokes that Chuck told them about a cobra snake biting him and after five days of agonizing pain and suffering the snake finally died.
“It is a dream come true,” said Pat. “I would have been comfortable not winning, but it sure is nice now.”
Pat was quoted in an article earlier this month that “It is so surreal. When I get in the truck and start driving it and have it parked in my yard – it will be awesome.” He now has the truck parked in his yard and he stated that it is “awesome!”

Chuck Norris signed the dash in what Pat is hoping is permanent black ink. Pat stated that this is the only authorized and signed Chuck Norris truck anywhere.
