WTB: 6v71 powered...

[Jasen]

Truck. Needs to have a running 6v71 with trans in tact. I don't care about the rest of the truck. No buses.

The truck can be a complete POS, rolled, wrecked or whatever.

I have a hair brained idea that I want to try. Something about those old two strokes I like. :hide:

Rock crawler?

[schovil69]

Nut swingah?

[fmstruck]

Something like this, perhaps?

I think a 6v71 will be hard to find unless it's in a bus. 53s and 92s were more plentiful in trucks. Not saying they're not out there, just not plentiful. I might be able to come up with a 53. Otherwise call C&H in South Sioux and talk to Ray. 1-800-360-6911

More like this, only in a 2wd 73-87 Chevy Dually.

There is several coming up on farm sales around look in the midwest messanger but i bet they would go for way more than you want to spend if i remember the sale bills. THis would be bad ass i have thought of the same thing but i would have a mid to late 70's chevy step side and put stacks on it.
i love the sound of the old detroit.
We had an old ford with a 8v71 with a 13 speed and twin 6in stacks. dam it was fun to roll the coal around corners.

If you could find a 6v53T that would probably fit much easier

**** the mustang rolling coal is so much more fun. and doing it with a screaming detroit would make it even better. Torq is better than hp.

[MadmaX]

I'm not saying that because it's a mustang, I'm saying that because finishing a project would probably give more satisfaction than stalling the one he's got and starting another one from scratch.

[JD 01SS]

True but a diesel project although it maybe more expensive to fix/mod it is way more fun. But i also have about a thousand different projects either going through my head or started that i need to do. So in my oppionion why not start another.

[MadmaX]

start another and finish neither.

Anyone who says working on a 2 cycle Detroit is fun has never worked on a 2 cycle Detroit.

I pulled the starter off an old Screamin Jimmy in the trees up to my grandpa's ranch, and even that wasn't fun.

I know it is not fun to work on. I admit i have never partaken in major repairs on an old detroit, some of the stuff we did to the old 8v71 before we sold it was a ***** but it was still fun to drive. the old R70 or R72 gleaner we had i can remember which it was awhile ago had a detroit in it. Dam that was loud following behind opening up fields.

2 stroke Detroit, for guys that want to sound like there going 120mph at 10mph. Or For guys that like to sound like there engine is always turning terminal velocity.

[JD 01SS]

^ yea it does seem that way
