Some of you may have seen a photo of this truck here and there on my FB page. A little over three years ago, a friend of mine purchased this truck from up in New York state. It was a tractor with a fifth wheel plate orginally and had a 361 cubic inch gas engine with a four speed and a Eaton two speed rear axle. The axle was geared high range 6.34:1, low range 7.82:1. After two years of work it now has a Cummins 12 valve P-pump diesel with an Allison 5 speed automatic. Both axles have been change and came from the bus that donated the engine. The rear axle sits on the factory air bags from the bus. Oh, and the tires and new brakes were also from the bus. The wheel base is stock at 89 inches. The bed is hand made, and weighs in at just over one ton. The brakes are air operated and also donated by the bus. Full of fuel the truck weighs in at 10,240 lbs. It's first maiden trip was to Chryslers at Carlile and it towed a 1969 Mod Top Barracuda up there getting 14.5 mpg and got the Celebrity Choice award. Not bad.
