It does sound good.

What is under the hood ?
It has a Dodge 383 under the hood, but I am working on a 440 to replace it.

What axles do you have under the Power Wagon ? And weren't the original engines 256 cubes ?

There are Dana 70 axles front and rear, power lock front, Detroit locker rear, 5.13 gears. The tires are some Ground Hogs that are cut for more traction and are 44" tall.
The original engine was a 230 flat head.

should plenty of space under the hood , if you keep the turbo on the small side they come up on boost pretty fast

The '69 I pulled with had a built 440. It was my daily driver with 37/14.50s. It did pretty good for a street legal truck. Never saw anything near a full pull,though. Your truck is awesome

I remember those! It's actually a WW9500, did use a T series cab but it was raised up to clear a Detroit 6V-71 (look at the fenders). They were a special order model for car haulers, this one belonged to Pacific Motor Transport, part of the Southern Pacific Railroad. Ryder had them too. The W series was dropped in 1974, but I have heard these special versions continued for a few more years, some with 8V-71's.

C10 - C90 Bill 08-19-2014 08:36 AM
Re: GM Semis
 
A 6V or 8V-71 in a Tilt would be something interesting to see.

What kind of Trans would they run?

Book says Fuller RT910 10 speed, probably could get an Allison too. The basic truck was a long wheelbase twin screw tractor.

My first C-60 was a 5+2 with a goofy top 4 gears. 4L-5L to 4H-5H pattern.

I had one of them in my '62 GMC 6500. What I liked about them is that you only had to shift the Rear twice when Split-Shifting through all the gears from 1st Low to 5th High (skipping 1st High).

But 1st to 2nd was a long, long ways from each other, lol.

Believe they were a Clark Trans.

We had a '80 GMC 6500 dump at work, and it shifted the same way. It had a Clark 285 5 speed (I remember pulling it out a few times due to idiot drivers!).

Not exclusive on rail; Jack Cooper hauls out of the plant to dealers in East.
