If you could build a custom truck...

Ok, a mid 80's Autocar A-64, use headlights from a 60's Autocar,Autocar hightop sleeper, twin 150 fueltanks from Peterbilt mounted like a Pete under sleeper,a 12V71 Detroit w/twin turbo's,air to air, DDEC and jake, 13 Over R/R, twin screw w/diff locks, air ride susp on cab and axles, 48' van, paint, chrome, etc. Oh ya baby!!! That's what I'm talkin about!!!!! Oh, and of course 4" twice pipes straight thru!!

 

there was a nice early 80's autocar on ebay last month. nice guy too. I tried to buy it but I hadn't gotten the money for my bike yet so someone else got it, and cheap too. and it was a nice truck.

Personally
359 pete flat top, twin turbo 3408 v8 cat, twin stick 18 speed, pete ow air susp, car hauler axle up front, striped own to the bones with 8" 14 foot tall stacks... straights not angled pipes, little bt of frame stretch with super singles out back and dual- single rear fenders. Painted n some clasic paint scheme but in electric lime green and black just like my jeep

Oh and don't forget the shifters need to scrape the roof! lol

 

The only thing worth building now, for me, is:

Classic 120" BBC with a 48 flattop sleeper. This means the wheelbase can be around 180" or less.

i like cummins out of all three, so it would probably be the N-14. i would like an allision if possible. If not possible then a 10sp roadranger is good for me.

i would want the stacks behind the sleeper, not in front and i'm not sure if i would want the exterior air cleaner housings.

2) Alternatively, the w-9OO and 388/389 i would spec similarly to above.

 

Volvo VN670, D16 600HP Volvo engine with a 13 speed eaton proshift, 6 speed jake and full side fairings. For color I would go with red.

379 pete 550 cat american class interior

 

A 2010 FL Coronado glider kit with a rebuilt DDEC4, 13 spd autoshift (3 pedal), 3.55 rears.

 

FYI cummins tried to build an aluminum engine for KW back in the 40s or 50s maybe with todays technology it may be possible. But unlees this rig was a toy all that would be acomplished is lower rates
