RacingFreak | Midnight Club: Street Racing - Restored Cut Police Truck @RacingFreak | Uploaded October 2020 | Updated October 2024, 4 hours ago.
Upon discovering a single leftover back side texture that somehow made it all the way to the final builds of the game, suggesting that there might have been a Police Truck planned/modeled for the game at some point, I initiated a fun little project way back in 2016 to bring this back to life. In fact, I even managed to track down the exact same vehicle that was used by the Criminal Justice Bureau of NYPD. It was not until fairly recently that I added some additional details and ported it in-game as both playable and traffic vehicle.
I assume it was cut from the game in favour of the Meter Maid.
PS
While the texture name suggests it could have been named Police Truck and it's actually a Step Van, I kept the original name that Angel Studios could have intended to use (just like the Ice Cream Truck).
