#Rollsmokey 12V Cummins Low and Not At All Slow!!
In this episode of Hot Rod Garage, presented by Lincoln Tech, we’ve got #Rollsmokey, our 12 V Cummins Turbo Diesel swapped 1973 D200, back in the shop for a complete handling overhaul. To deal with the 750+ft lbs of torque from the Cummins engine, we had to upgrade the Dana 60 rear-end with a Detroit Truetrac, and longer 3.54 gears, to make it handle we upgraded all the suspension bushings to polyurethane, installed a quick-ratio steering gearbox, and replaced all the bushings and joints with fresh parts. To finish it off, a set of Heavy-duty shocks, and clipped 1-ton springs were installed to get a lowered street-machine stance. Watch Tony Angelo abuse this truck before and after upgrades in a tire-melting thrash session!
1966 LS Powered Chevelle Mini-Tub Install & Burnouts!
Lucky Costa – “I'm hard-pressed to pick a favorite. Working with David on the Msd Atomic Van in ep. 21 was a good time. Also, the trip to Colorado and building the Cummins powered Cadillac (bro-hammer) in the junkyard was a lot of fun, however that wasn't HRG. More recently I enjoyed building the Crownhick in ep. 49 especially after hours completing the job off camera and of course I was forced to drive it around for a week or so just to make sure everything was working. But, if I really had to pick, I'm guessing my favorite would be between ep. 44 the Fury Road master episode - taking a family station wagon and turning it into a fun driver, and episode 35 - mini tubbing my 66 Chevelle...... Yeah, ok, that's the one I'm going with, Ep 35. Hanging out with friends and working on my own car is pretty much the perfect way to spend the week. Yours Truly....... Lucky”
