Bread truck
 
Please post up a build tread on the bread truck. What engine is in the truck? Keith

Kcrain - The bread van is about a month off being done we had a pretty major hold up on the diff and gearbox. The Chassis is a shortened C30 item with a 4link rear. It has Air bags all round. The engine is a 426 Hemi blown it has just under a 1000hp on pump gas and has 960ftp of torque. Dual 4" exhaust too. The wheels are custom made Alcos 22". Also set up power steer and aircon. The owner is keeping the patina look. It will be a family cruiser and tow car for his drag car. Might only do that a couple times as the fuel bill will be quite large.

So 2 weeks ago the owner of the Valiant told us he wanted to take it to the states largest car show as a almost complete project car so with many long days we got it there so here are some updates.

We ran tubes in the chassis rails under the floor for the fuel and wiring for the pump. These will exit out behind the rear bar and be hidden all the way the the motor.

Exhaust has been run. Dual 3.5" over the diff. Sill has also been reshaped and now wrap under to the rails.

A little mod to the engine bay to let some heat out.

The Indy headed mopar stuffed in there. We kept the guards basically stock because the owner wants to do some track work if he hurts the front its easily replaced.

New grill and air ducts fitted up. We removed the stainless trim off the front of the guards and added a extended lip off them.
