I bought 3 non-op CTD trucks,
fixed one> 11' flat bed, 5 speed> 92 Dually other one is a 92 5 speed, flat bed- need to re-seal the pump The last one the body was rough so parted it out Still had the 89 engine and a trans out of an airport tug. When I pulled the 540 out of the Satellite (engine set back 12") looked like a Cummins would fit So, why not...lol Attachment 49972 Attachment 49973 Attachment 49974 |
That is freaking cool! How about some more pics and details on the car?

I saw this build over on RCC.
That is one cool Satellite project! Nice work. |
The amount of time and money spent shows in each project. You blended both of my passions. Cool old Mopar iron and Cummins. Your fabrications skills are only overshadowed by your vision. Way cool man, way cool!

I am surprised it took so long for someone else to comment!
The stuff going on in that airplane hanger is COOL. |
Holy Schnikies Dragin!!! Just keep on posting pics of your projects!! That rampage is killer. I'd love more info on that and the Satellite. Is there a build thread somewhere on the Rampage? What's your plans for the Satellite? Going to run it on the 1/4? Don't know if you're a roadkill fan, But the satellite would fit right in on one of thier cruises/runs...
Awesome work man, keep it up |
