Re: 68 C10 with airplane motor

What kind of transmission does it have? I hope the tranny came out of a helicopter! That is cool! Did he say what he's gonna use for the intake?

Re: 68 C10 with airplane motor

I'm afraid I have no info on the truck other than it was for sale by a builder from Spokane. I couldn't get any more photos cause it drew a huge crowd. I was laying on the ground with 20's front and 22's rear. The guy also built his own rims.

Re: 68 C10 with airplane motor

Very cool, I would love to see what he had planned for a transmission. There was actually an antique car back in the 20s/30s that had a rear mounted radial engine over the rear axle, but the name slipped my mind.
