Can u even BOMB this thing?

it be sweeter with even a 4BT or a 6BT...

Rick

 

I think that thing is sweet. But Rick is right a 6BT would be better.

 

I just gotta ask. "why"??

I don't dfind that thing appealing to me at all. But to each his own i guess.

 

What is a cummins 378. Also it states the conversion was done around 1981 and if I rember my history right the b series engines wern't around yet.

 

whoa! hillibilly delux!!!


(man, looks like something i would drive! )

 

oh come on rick! that thing has got air brakes and a REAL jake!

i reckon a 8.3 would be better (only if it had a jake....)

 

I think that it is a sweet rig, but I agree with everone who thinks that the engine should be a 6-in-a-row. However, even with the V8 it is still cool. I like the tag axle and truck tranny, as well as the jake and air. I would get rid of the wing, visors, fender flares and stacks. Also, I think that this particular pickup would look much better with a flatbed. I love the semi-truck bumper!

I am looking into doing a project like this with a Chevy like this, but with a 354 Perkins engine instead.

 

I'll take two!! Must be the hillbilly in me (but being from E. Kentucky I guess that's ok!)

 

The 5.9 B Series started in the very early 70's in a joint venture with Case. It was used in industrial applications long before we grew to love them in pick-up trucks.

 

It looks like an old Triple Nickle 555 Cummins V8 to me.

 

That thing is horrendous

 

give the guy some rcedit...he did it all himself didnt he?...i respect anyone that puts their own elbow grease into things and gets creative

 

Wound up going for $6400, guess somebody liked it alot.

 

I'm curious though, whats a holsten turbo?
