Onyx610 Posted September 27, 2022 Author Share Posted September 27, 2022 Apparently it was powered by a 28 litre v12 Cummins. Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/69424-shop-talk/page/34/#findComment-510412 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joey Mack Posted September 27, 2022 Share Posted September 27, 2022 I thought about it Onyx... years ago I put a new distributor, mid rise, Edelbrock Performer intake, Edelbrock carb, water pump, thermostat, radiator,, and something else i'm sure, got it tuned and,,, My brother in-law enjoyed the power, a bit too much.. My plan is to put a decent cam, maybe smaller than a .49 thumper, like whats in my 400.. I also need to freshen up the Turbo 400, and a new torque converter... and pull the diff. cover off and see if it's ok... Of course I still need to get My '48 Int. KB-7 on the road.. I still have a bit more to do to her '81 C-10.. 2 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/69424-shop-talk/page/34/#findComment-510415 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Onyx610 Posted September 27, 2022 Author Share Posted September 27, 2022 Cam, long tube headers, and a 2800-3000 stall converter and that thing would be a real mean truck and very streetable too. 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/69424-shop-talk/page/34/#findComment-510417 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Joey Mack Posted September 27, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted September 27, 2022 Here's her '81... I put a new distributor in this one, tune up, valve cover gaskets,, It just sit's.. I drive it sometimes. 39,000 mile's.. factory 305 4bbl, turbo 350.. It rides like a new truck.. 4 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/69424-shop-talk/page/34/#findComment-510418 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Onyx610 Posted September 27, 2022 Author Share Posted September 27, 2022 I can’t remember the last time I seen one of those trucks. Keep the black one stock and build the 454 to a mild street car.

Joey Mack Posted September 27, 2022 Share Posted September 27, 2022 the 454 truck is factory.. and yes, it would be a hell of a street rod.. as far as the black one,,, I wont mess with it... it really is a pleasure to drive as it is... it would be cool if I had the '48 done with a good flat bed on it and put one of the C-10's on it and Terri drives the other C-10 to local shows... 2 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/69424-shop-talk/page/34/#findComment-510421 Share on other sites More sharing options...

But when I went to his facebook page to see exactly how old he was I found that he had just passed away, at the age of 99. This is him driving, age 96. https://gofund.me/85156c26 I ordered several copies of that book, gave a lot away as Christmas presents. I ordered them directly from him, but it's probably available from Amazon. 2 1 Quote Producer of poorly photo-chopped pictures since 1999.
