Truck is titled as a 1946 but is a mixture of parts as stated above. The truck make 711hp and 645 tq with a larger 91mm turbo, it does require e85. I swapped to a smaller turbo for faster spooling. I have not had it on the dyno since. I have the wastegates set at 12psi
——
Video posted is of a cold start after not running for about a week.
——
The radiator and transmission cooler are in the bed as seen. City cruising temps stay 180. Highway speeds truck will start running 200
—
All exterior lights are led
Steering wheel is fixed but removable. I am
6’4 and have no issues driving. Seats are challenger seats on rails. 4point seat belts.
—
The controls and fuse box for the truck are Auto rod controls. Msd 6al2 with boost reverence and 2step.
—
The front s10 brakes need new calipers or aftermarket, the brakes sometimes get soft and need a double pump to get pressure
—
All glass is original. There is no door glass and as you see someone shot the front glass with a gun. Even though it is cracked with a hole the glass is solid and doesn’t move or shard.
—
No outside hand for passenger door and passenger door stiff opening and closing.
—
It is exactly what you see, the patina is clean and there were two cracks I welded up on the body. The truck is not rusted out. The floor and firewall were replaced with metal because the engine sits inside the cab slightly.
—
Truck is very light and gets sideways in an instant, it’s a fun truck to drive. Very loud since the down pipe comes out in front of the right front tire.
—
No E brake, if shipped some companies require a working e brake.
—
Ask any questions, more pics on request. If there’s anything I’ve forgotten I’ll add it in.
