Details

The Diesel Brothers on Discovery built this C10 pickup on Season 3 over three episodes for Charity Air Ambulance and the company's owner, Cheyenne Lord. Built to be driven and was driven to this auction. The hand-built tube chassis with a cantilever coilover hydraulic suspension and roll cage was engineered with a removable floor, so the entire cab can be lifted off. It’s powered by a fully built LBZ Twin-Turbo Duramax diesel 6.6-liter race engine producing an estimated 800-1000hp and 1500 ft/lbs of torque that can hold 60-80 pounds of boost. One custom-painted turbo emerges from the hood. The engine is backed by a Dodge 47RE automatic transmission with a shortened Dana Currie rear end, which is all exposed in the truck's bed. Body has been shaved and molded. Post-show, the engine was retuned for street and drag strip driving and converted to an automatic-shifting transmission with a full rebuild. New transmission hydraulic lines, air conditioning, motor accessory brackets rebuilt with thicker steel to handle the engine torque, new suspension hydraulics - and a line lock was added for smoke burnouts, as well as countless other modifications.
