Trailer Products... I had those same bedsides for my crew.... but I didn't like that the wheel well was 4" different from left to right.

Super wood! Best Class 8 ever! This would be my choice if I could drive an 8 truck.

I like Steve Olliges new truck but I still think Frankenstein is the best Class 8 ever.

And out of all the trucks Olliges has, I would take Lightning #1.

I didn't take any pictures of it while I was in the Keys last weekend.

Ahhh yes, that is one gorgeous ride. I love the attention to detail, the roof and stuff like that, and 17" Alcoas!! OH YEAH!

That was for sale at LeDuc's a couple years back too. I think he wanted 80 for it. still one of the coolest trucks out there by today's standard.

LOOOOVE that lightening. Maybe more than the black class 8 which defies all my conventional thinking...

Wow, talk about a poor turbo set-up. Nothing says lag like mounting the turbo 5' from the motor.......

Is that the Retro Bronco?

It was in the Midwest for a while.... guess the owner got bored with it.

That thing was pretty healthy to begin with... I wonder why they added a turbo?

***EDIT*** That oil line fitting won't last long hanging under the truck like that... motor won't last long when it pumps all the oil out after a rock hit.

Has it actually been out of the workshop??

Twin turbos...really? Too bad when someone gets ahold of a car or truck that needs nothing else and makes it worse.

Remote mount turbo's are actually fairly common. They tend to have smaller exhaust turbines to speed up spool time.
