This is by far one of the nicest idi projects ever built.

Looks like he did a great job on that thing

A little tall for my tastes, but man, that thing would turn some heads!

 

[subway]

sweet how did he get it to shoot flames, propane kit??

 

[poolguy]

Wow, thats SHARP! I wonder if you can light the flames at hwy speed.

Would be better with an IH banner on the seats though!!!

Cool rig though!

 

[Agnem]

That is might cool. Would love to see some undercarriage shots.

Yeah, that would be neat, probably doesn't want to give away his trade secrets. Looks like a cluster of shocks between those rear axle though!!!

 

[LOGANSTANFORTH]

i want to see how he split it to the rear tires, sounds interesting...

 

[rip van sparky]

awesome, but kinda weak with the super singles, should have gone with duals for sure, I just went to look at darksider trucks, hell, I'd rather give 24000 for that than a superduty.

 

[Cat_Rebel]

It looked like a normal 10.25 rear end, most people use Rockwells to make life easier. I would like to know how he split it too.

I'd really like to see how all those shocks are set up. Looks like quite the puzzle!

Yeah looks like a lot of unneccessary parts there to me. Seems to be shocks on shocks and what weird angles.

Also, I would not want a single leaf setup on tandem axles. That setup is all show as there would be no real advantage other than 6 wheels on the ground, but I bet with a single spring, anything other than pavement there aren't six wheels on the ground!

And as the nicest trucks, if you want to be impressed, look at some of the pictures of Tim's late 70's model truck with an IDI. I am not a Ford fan at all and that truck made my mouth water!!!

 

[Exekiel69]

That truck was posted here before, but it sure look neat.

 

[argve]

last time it didn't make the reserve if I remember correctly and I doubt it will again considering he is wanting so much for it in a buy it now price.

but it's still a nice truck and I'm sure cost a small fortune to build.

It appears that the suspension is based on a Hendrickson RT series walking-beam suspension.

I was told the main problem with this type of system is when the bushings get a little wear, the rig will try to run sideways down the road. See the last two sentences on this page. All the shocks maybe trying to correct the problem.
