tonite,s ideal pick up would be a really early [read BIG] el camino,with a mid mounted v6,turbo charged detroit 6v92-stuffed with water,meth,nos,propane and top heavy young ladies who could weld,cook and specialised in materials transfer.4 link,air all round .and a bunch of get outta jail free cards

 

i would have to say a cummins 12 valve

 

Building a 83 Chevy crew cab 1 ton srw with a p pumped cummins and an nv4500. going to be around 500 hp. just like the classic looks and simplicty.

 

Pretty Much the Truck I built, But Now have to sell Because Im broke. 99' Superduty 4x4 With a 12v and my 4R100 Tranny. Oh Yeah an the Flatbed with stacks!!!

 

90 f600 4x4 crew cab dually pickup. Im gonna run the 7.3 and zf5 for now. Until i find an 8.3 cummins and 6 or 7 speed.

 

2001 - 2004 toyota tacoma 4/4 with a 1KD-FTV
for remote fishing and camping trips, and running to home depot for light stuff.

A first Gen tundra with a 1HD-FTE straight 6 engine
as a medium Light duty truck for towing boats and carrying larger loads etc.

And as for a more heavey duty truck a F650 with a Cat engine, or with the Cummins Allison combo .


Also for a primary vehicle when a truck isn't needed, a first Gen Rav 4 AWD with a Aluminum block 1ND-TV Toyota diesel it weighs less and has more torque then the stock gas engine, I'm sure that it would get at least 40 MPG,s

 

Done that!...almost finished

 

done what ?

 

ultimate truck would be:
2006 mega cab 5.9 CR 4x4
2" lift with 33" nitto
twin tubo's, smarty tnt/r, water-meth, ect... all to about 550-600hp
(18speed roadranger auto if possable to shoe horn in there......just because it would be kick *** to have 18)
4 12"s behind back seat
8 speakers
4 tweeters
head unit

 

compact truck diesel powered you cant buy one so I am making my own to hell with Detroit and Tokyo
