Pretty slick truck....The RHD is an interesting twist.

Re: Nice twin turbo '48 build

If you don't open the link and read the whole story you missed one of the nicest AD trucks anywhere on the planet.

The truck isn't the only thing that is impressive, the Rotisserie that they did the work on the cab on is a work of art itself.

That thing is NICE! But it won't even stand up in my garage. Even so, I like it.

It won't fit in a lot of garages but shows what one can come up with but maybe on a smaller scale. The wheels don't have too be that big of diameter.
