Now there’s a truck.

That is my dream truck. With a 8v92 Detroit under the hood and a 13 speed transmission. I’m drooling just thinking about it

[u/Mabepossibly]

I was hoping to see it restored at the end.

Is taking a truck that sat for 18 years with tires, brakes and rubber bits that are at best questionable over a mountain road a good idea?

Anyone else cringe when he was spraying all that ether into it? She’ll start without it buddy, it’ll take time but if she was going to start she’ll start on her own. Explosion waiting to happen.
