Hello, Im introducing my self to your site as a new member, and in hopes of getting some of my technical debocles saited. I am building the worlds largest street T-bucket Roadster P/U, by starting with a long nose peterbilt. I have actually only used the cab and engine out of the original unit. I have created a pro-stock suspension type frame with a traverse roadster type front with coil over shocks, but In a Big truck style, the normal air and suspension parts of this project have been eliminated. 4 Wheel disc brakes, are hydraulic. 8V92 Detroit engine with an Allison auto 3 speed tranny. Cab was modified to a Roadster style, and a short but oversized pic-up bed, and super Singles with custom wheels. I have been in pro dragracing most of my life,, and though somewhat retired from circuits, I still enjoy the "run what you brung" type hot rod. Ill post some pics later if that is possible. The engine is an V block detroit, but modified to a bit higher degree. It has two blowers stacked, and a trubo and Roadster type lake headers the likes you have never seen. The exhausts are actually a two part, multi-function custom made valving system to allow it to run in turbo or as straight blown mode, with electric style injection system, that allows for a 5 minute no tools needed conversion to either mode. Its an open engine compartment street racer,with Rear Wing, and Roll cage. Ill keep you posted, and hope you will help me with your suggestions to the "impending trials", ha ha. I plan to drag race, do bonneville, and hope to get a chance at Pikes Peak next year, so thanks to all. Dragtrk44
