Wanted list

At a local event today. It’s our town’s 100th anniversary and they are making it a big deal. Will post more in that later.
Just found something I really want (but will never have) and am sure most of us would like it.
It’s a 59 GMC fitted with a custom camper/car hauler. Running a Cummins engine.

That's an interesting rig. Does it have a newer 12-24 valve Cummins or an older one

 

[rkrochen]

5.9 Cummins is all I know

The engine is a 95 out of a school bus. Backed up be an Allison tranny. He is still running 59 front end parts only he added power steering. Said it drives very well and weighs in around 13000lbs.

Was that a complete custom camper/car hauler? Very cool.

I would drive that around the country with my 300 in the back to enjoy when ever I stopped, or use it to buy new c-bodies for the collection.

If only I was retired with an unlimited budget.

 

[rkrochen]

Yes it is and all built from scratch. They did a great job. Liked the White Rose theme an old gas business in canada bought out by Shell

I went back and zoomed in on the details, they did an outstanding job, very impressive.

Little details like the engine cover were amazing. People were actually asking him if it was hot while driving. I don’t know how he made it but looks like something that would be done on a 3-D printer

I could be wrong, but that looks like a valve cover off of a Cummins 11 liter to me, probably sitting on a wood frame.

Quite possibly I didn’t get a chance to look at it too closely. There were lots of people coming through to see it.

 

[BigblueC]

It's a pretty interesting truck. I really like how he incorporated the "White Rose" sign. I assume that is the Nova wagon that rides in it.

 

[rkrochen]

Yes it is but I like the truck better.

Very cool, unique vehicle. I like it.

I am extremely familiar with 3D printing and have one myself. I seriously doubt that is 3d printed as it would take ages to print something of that size and would be costly to have done custom.

I trust what you say, just took an uneducated guess. I like BigblueC’s suggestion on what it is.

That seems a little more likely to me as well. But who knows, I could be incorrect, there are definitely 3D printers capable of doing something of that magnitude for the right price!!
