Re: GM Semis
So Vettes are loaded exclusively on rail at factory now? Dang,didn't know that. How about at the other end of the line? Driven? Hauled?

Re: GM Semis
Special-K------Pic 740 of the COE Chev with 3 military Dodges is great for the era ! I had a Dodge WW2 ambulance back in the '70s, was gonna make it into a truck puller with 6V53. Friends advised me it would need complete running gear upgrade, so I sold and flat towed it to Mansfield, Oh. area. Over the years, I had components for 4 different types of pullers, but only experienced it once with my 9500 GMC.

Re: GM Semis
Glad you liked that one. I thought the same thing,too. I always wanted one of those Dodges in any form. I pulled a few times with a '69 W300 back in '77 when I first found out about pulling with trucks and things got so refined. I love to watch the pulls. Lots of black smoke at work (having fun)

Re: GM Semis
I love the old military trucks too, here is my '51 M37 doing my first truck pull (I rolled it over on the trails the day before).

There are Dana 70 axles front and rear, power lock front, Detroit locker rear, 5.13 gears. The tires are some Ground Hogs that are cut for more traction and are 44" tall.
The original engine was a 230 flat head.

should plenty of space under the hood , if you keep the turbo on the small side they come up on boost pretty fast

The '69 I pulled with had a built 440. It was my daily driver with 37/14.50s. It did pretty good for a street legal truck. Never saw anything near a full pull,though. Your truck is awesome
