Re: What's in your neighbors back Yard?

Stopped in and talked to one of the guys that helped build this beast.

Since it doesn't belong to him actually, he said I needed to ask the guy that owns it if I could take some detailed pics of it. And he is a truck driver.

Anyway it is built on a 6x6 military rig frame and has a "Hurricane" engine with a 10 speed trans behind it. He says it will burn any kind of fuel you put in it.

It was a 60 Suburban that had the middle cut out of it to shorten the cab and then it had the bed added on. The bed was cut length ways and widened to fit the frame.

Motor isn't full of horsepower, only about 126 hp at 2500 rpm he said but it torques like a beast and it will move a mountain.

The rear bumper is off of a Fire Truck and the one on the front holds a 2nd set of working headlights because the ones in the grill are too high and cant be aimed low enough to be legal.

Pretty cool looking truck when you get a chance to look it over. You can stand inside the front fender well and work on the engine. To give you an idea how high it sits and I am 5'10.

I tried to buy the hood off of it for my 1/2 ton but it was no deal.
