Re: The Future of Our Trucks

I guess truck will have to move to Texas and Oklahoma. Or use the power of the ballot and vote the fools who want to totally eliminate gas powered vehicles out of office and send them packing. Those same ones in Washington and Oregon want to rip out the Hydro Electric dams on the Snake. That means getting rid of the clean energy that they plan on using to power their electric cars.

I guess we can convert our trucks to run on grain alcohol and grow our own fuel.


There are some guys around the country working at converting Older rigs to electric now, The more technology that comes out on the new electric rigs the more that get seen as viable on older rigs. No motor sounds but just as guys are now swapping in LS engines the next group will be pulling complete electric drivetrains and battery packs out of donor rigs and building chassis to work with them in older rigs.

My ongoing truck projects:
48 Chev 3100 that will run a 292 Six.
71 GMC 2500 that is getting a Cad 500 transplant.
77 C 30 dualie, 454, 4 speed with a 10 foot flatbed and hoist. It does the heavy work and hauls the projects around.
