Sweet looking rides, I like the International Transport trucks. Wade, does your truck have pete suspension on it?

[Exthood359]

Yes it does.......

That was the thing to do in the early 80's was put a better riding suspension under the truck.

My truck was a glider when new. The owner put in a V12 detroit and Pete air ride.

Wade does your truck still have the V-12?

[hougie]

Do you pull on that hitch pin or push it to make it work?

Brian,

No it doesn't but I have a twin turbo to put back in it at some point in time. If I can afford to feed it.

With the right injectors and settings without getting funky it will put 800 HP to the wheels.

Ok getting somewhere again with the A Model got the test steps made for it.. I built them out of 1/4 plastic and .80 plastic and plastic tread plate. I still have to make the lower step but here is how they look so far even thou these are just proto types I am still going to repaint them and make them look the best I can till I get the new ones.
