Re: 54 Duramax build
That's just all that thing would do. He had a sign on the back of the flatbed that read "45 mph top speed". You can kinda see the back of that sign in this pic. I asked to confirm and he said that's all it would do. He's dedicated!

Re: 54 Duramax build
Here's a couple pics that were taken in front of us and behind us in one of the many small town traffic jams we got the opportunity to participate in. Lol. Hot rods as far as you could see just about.

Re: 54 Duramax build
This truck was a 7.3 power stroke swap on a pretty trick bag setup. Anybody familiar with it? I talked to the guy for a bit, great guy with a sweet truck!

Re: 54 Duramax build
Anybody watch gas monkey garage? A buddy knows KC, the painter that was on the show. He's opening up his own paint shop in the DFW area, we swung by his shop and said hi. Got to see his square body SEMA build...supercharged LS7. Not to bad. Lol.

Re: 54 Duramax build
Not sure exactly what this was, except diesel powered and somewhat scary and awesome all at once. Lol.

Re: 54 Duramax build
Those NY guys are pretty hard core! Last year I loaned my jack and jackstands to a guy from NY in a 55 2nd series with an LT1 and 4L60...earlier in the week he'd lost 4th gear and reverse and every night he was at the hotel in the next city.
How did the wagon guy do, any more bad luck? Again, let me know if he has any problems returning that fan. That PowerStroke truck is from my area, it's on a Crown Vic suspension and he AutoCrossed it last year at GoodGuys. I'll probably see it this weekend, as it's GoodGuys weekend here in town. We followed that last truck for a while one of the days. From the back it just looks like any other flatbed dually, until you notice the back window is pretty small and the side mirrors are round. Then I started paying attention and saw it was an old cab, very interesting.

Re: 54 Duramax build
I bet you're right, he had a Morrison sticker on the back window.

Re: 54 Duramax build
Awesome truck, looks amazing! I am also currently building a Duramax project with an Allison 1000 trans. If you don't mind me asking but are you using a slip yoke driveshaft and also what yoke are you running? Would you know the part number by chance. You are correct about converting 4wd to 2wd, plus there is nothing online that is helpful.
Thank you
