Tall tires?

 

[dragogt]

IDI + 5spd = MPG...

 

[Blue Goose]

IDI + 5spd = MPG...

Not only that, but that IDI is quite content sipping on fryer oil or drained transmission oils etc...

 

[dragogt]

Also very true..

It'll run on just about any petroleum product you can think of....

Exactly, and I intend to start doing that eventually. One of my close buddies has already contemplated building a filtration system to do just that. Unfortunately, he'll have to sacrifice some oil whenever winter comes around as he's got 2 grove heaters he uses at the edge of the shop (open ends)

I didn't notice earlier, but it looks to be a very rare Peterbilt Peterson special.

What a great find man!

Ya know, there's a story behind those trucks.

Give it time. In the automotive hobby, you need to see the potential, not what it is. And from JR's track record...he doesn't seem to be content with stock for long.

I know that I just like the head light and grill style better on the gray one then the blue one.

You're not the only one. Alot of people don't like the Brick gens. But seeing as you're silverbrick, you're more likely to drive it than the rest of us.

 

[Blue Goose]

Hey Shaun, in the back of the truck, is that the door Chris needs for his flareside?

 

[Fordzilla80]

Why, yes it is. It's even the same purple!

CHRIS!!!!! Goose found you a door.....

Man, You noticed! Yup, it's number 1 of 1 made...cool ain't it? Comes with that nifty emblem, blue dash with a custom crack, one blue door panel and one grey one along with 4 mismatched tires and wheels and a custom exhaust that originally dumps out halfway under the cab!

Nice project....but I like your friends truck better lol

Yea, we just put that front clip on about a month n a half ago. The headlights and grill that are on mien came off of his....

truf truf...no problem with a chugger though......it hauls enough arse for me to be content....for a while.Really want a set of powerkings and I'll be set.

The Gen 8's only look good to me if the truck is sittin up a bit, has decent tires and rattles like a mariachi band.

No love for the Brick Gens.... *sigh* lol good find though bet she sounds good too.

I wanna know why you guys are singling out the 87-91's as bricks...the way I see it, the F-series were complete bricks from 67-97. The only real radii on 67-72's was the bump and the nose of the hood. The 73-79's had the concave radius and roof line. The 80-86's pretty much were only straight lines. Personally, I thought the 87-91's were rather curvy and slightly more curvy from 92-97.

I think that is because of the way they look.

No chit Sherlock...haha. My point was I thought they all looked like bricks for 30 years.
