The Truck: A Rat Rod Masterpiece
The truck that caught our attention is indeed a work of art, with its Mickey Thompson sticking out from the side and a 1952 Stud Baker pickup. It's clear that this is not an everyday vehicle, as there are very few Stud Baker pickups in circulation. The owner's enthusiasm for their ride is palpable, and it's easy to see why they're so proud of it.
The Setup: A Unique Combination
The truck's setup is equally impressive. According to the chart on display, it features a 59 Cummins diesel engine with a 12-valve configuration, paired with an NV4500 5-speed manual transmission. This is no ordinary combination, as the owner has cleverly repurposed the chassis of a 1998 Dodge into a single-wheel setup. The result is a vehicle that's both functional and performance-oriented.
The Owner's Ambition
The owner's goal for the day is to push the truck's capabilities to the limit. With a projected 440 wheel horsepower and 190 pounds of nitrous oxide, they're looking to shave off some precious seconds from their previous times. The owner has been experimenting with different settings and configurations, and it's clear that they've made significant progress.
The Track Session
As we watched the truck take to the track, it was impossible not to be impressed by its performance. With a reported top speed of 136 miles per hour, this is certainly no ordinary vehicle. The owner's technique and control were on full display as they navigated the twists and turns of the track.
The Competition
We also caught glimpses of another competitor in action – the Trailblazer. This impressive machine was put through its paces, with the owner pushing it to its limits and beyond. While we're not entirely sure what the outcome was, it's clear that both vehicles were capable of producing some incredible speeds.
The Crew Cab: A Nice Touch
One feature that stood out on this truck was the crew cab design. It's a nice touch that adds to the overall sense of style and sophistication that surrounds this vehicle. We're not sure what the story is behind this particular cab, but it certainly adds to the charm of the overall package.
The Nitrous Oxide Boost
We were curious about the role that nitrous oxide played in the truck's performance. According to the owner, they've been experimenting with different boost levels and configurations to see what works best. It's clear that this is a crucial component of their setup, and we're eager to see how it plays out on the track.
The Owner's Gratitude
As we chatted with the owner, it became clear just how grateful they were for the support and encouragement they'd received from others in the community. They were thrilled to have the opportunity to share their passion with a wider audience and were eager to show off their creation to anyone who would watch.
The Future Plans
Finally, we caught wind of some rumors about future plans involving this truck. Apparently, the owner is hoping to spend upwards of $10,000 on modifications and upgrades in the coming months. While that may seem like a significant investment, it's clear that they're willing to go the extra mile to make their vehicle truly exceptional.
The Verdict
In conclusion, this truck is an absolute masterpiece – a true work of art that showcases the owner's creativity and dedication to their craft. Whether or not we'll see these two vehicles competing on the track again remains to be seen, but one thing's for sure: they're both leaving us with an unforgettable impression.
