that sounds like a cool toy i would love to find an air starter for the12v92
but first we should pic a truck
Longhood, I remember one I know you'd like. Years back they featured the retirement of the pres of Kenworth/Peterbilt in a fleet trucking mag our shop used to get. The company had made a complete miniature conventional cab Kenworth the exact size of a pickup truck for a surprise gift at his retirement. It had a pickup bed on it but from the bed forward it was a little correctly scaled KW. Years later I saw either it (medium metallic blue) or another just like it parked in front of an injection shop. Maybe you guys can still find it on Google.

I got to go to SEMA this year and it was SOOOOO much fun!!! This was by Far the coolest Diesel Powered Truck at SEMA!!! 3000 man hours and over $100k to build. 8V71 Detroit Diesel, 2 stroke, 4 exhaust valves per cylinder, Twin Polished Blowers, Hand made Aluminum Body.
You should go back and edit, it's a 12V71, not an 8V, count the little zoomie headers.
What's cool is to see this rig in person. I saw it at a big rig show this past May.....WOA! I was laughing at my own disbelief of how koool that thing really is. There's a video of it on youtube, where Jay Leno is cruising it around.
