The cab is a 1940 White. google "1940 white labatts truck" and you will find what it looked like back in the day. The chassis is a 1990 Dodge dually and the engine is a 12 valve cummins. Original hp is 160 with 400lb-ft torque but we upgraded the cam, turbo, injectors and fuel pump which will give us nearly 500hp. |

How bout that,I recognized it right away,White.
With Sherman's Sand &Gravel up the street,as a kid I saw,heard and smelled that model daily.They supplied the construction of the QEW(Ontario). Gonna be nice. Will you run a 5th and trailer? With all that power you could run a tandem axle. Real Retro. https://www.google.ca/search?q=custom+paint...ck&imgdii=_ Looked at the deck weldment pix ,very nice. |

Beautiful truck, but not to drive too far. Look at that front seat....looks like torture.
Substitute a pair of air rides if they fit. Still over my meager budget with reserve not met. |

Buy a flat tow kit for the 914. I've towed mine many times this way & prefer it. You'll hardly know it is back there. It also doesn't take a big rig to tow it. At 2200lbs you can tow it with a car. Get yourself a nice TDI diesel Passat or whatever your comfortable in.
As much as I would love one of those cool car hauler's. Unless you tow your car ALOT it's going to sit there 330 days out of the year (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) |
