    ...build a diesel Hog! Imagine the fuel mileage on a two-wheeler! Would have to stick a turbo on there somewhere too. The gut next to you at the stoplight wouldn't know what to think! Whistle...rattle... RUMBLE!! Heh,heh. Good for a chuckle at least.

    Yeah, I'd like to stick a 6.5 TD in an old Checker Marathon (like the NYC taxi cab). That would be a good combo of durability, luxury, style and economy. Won't happen anytime soon, but I can still wish.

    Nice. I didn't know the frames were shared. That makes it even more tempting. If I only had the time and money! Maybe it could be the nest More Power Project concept. Pimp my Diesel!!

    Last week on Monster Garage they converted a Peterbilt truck to a 3-wheeled "chopper". They used the drivetrain out of the truck too! It sure turned a lot of heads out on the road!
    Had the big Cummins sittin out in the open. Driver sat to the left of the motor. Radiator on the right side. Made a custom fuel tank that was mounted above the rear axle. What a beast...they even retained the air brakes...
