I tried tracking down the guys who usually handle this sort of thing - La Aduana (?) - but I'm still new here so I couldn't find them through normal channels.

Nonetheless, here it is - Steve McQueen's Expedition Rig:

This 1952 Forest Green Chevrolet 3800 series is a one-ton long-bed pickup truck and is much sought after by customizers, hot rodders and old truck collectors. McQueen acquired this car on Feb. 2, 1978, when he resided in Trancas Beach, north of Malibu, California, with Barbara Minty McQueen. She said her late husband often collected trucks on a whim even though they didn’t have the parking space at that time.

“Steve’s collection of cars and motorcycles cluttered the private driveway that serviced a row of homes near the beach, but that didn’t stop him from buying whatever he wanted,” Minty McQueen said. “I remember one time we drove past a migrant farm worker who had this **************’ old truck and Steve turned the car around and wrote him a check on the spot. He bought a plane or two that way, too.”
