That thing is sexy. Not my style with the a-arms, rack and bags in the front, but I like the stance he achieved with it. The turbos on there are making me think about putting the spare cummins in my '38 again. Been toying with the idea on and off for a while. Really had bee planning on much more of a traditional type rod build with it though.

Whenever I have room for a long term project I'd like to build a rat-rod pick-up with a 2.3L turbo and and Twin I-beam front suspension. Kind of a new meets old thing. Even though the rat rod crowd will hate it....

That thing is definitely interesting/different!

Very tempted on the cummins but with a straight axle, transverse leafs and probably a friction shock on the front I don't know how it would handle the weight. The 4bt (inline 4 instead of 6) cummins would probably be really cool for this, but they are getting harder to find and therefore expensive.

Still might throw the 6 in there but 302 or 351w is the current plan.

i tried talking luke into the 4bt instead of the sbc but he was scared, don't be scared! i think any diesel with an auto behind it in any hot rod is just to kool for skool! if i ever had the time and space i would build a hot rod with a duramax/allison combo.

I wouldn't mind putting a 6bt in a 56' or so Chebby pickup. Or a 42-50 Ford pickup.

He must have been at the LeDuc swap meet as it looks like he's running those Pro-Comp shocks with resi-s. LOL.

Awesome thread, but I disagree about not adding some modern stuff to the old rigs. Upgrading the suspesnion and braking to our current day ability is really a good idea. At the least disc brakes all around. In terms of engine, I'm old school carb'd V8s.

Mega bucks in upgrades, and crappy paint makes it a rat rod?
