Gary, it was a DT 466 International. The guy is here local in central Fl, can't remeber his name though. Gary
 
aint sure. wrongway!! is it the same one as the video. werks the same. spoolin up and stuff but i think its a different truck, maybe not. the one im talkin about has huge stacks. could be a new mod though
 
The pic and video I posted are one in the same truck, but that was also from 2005.
 
Its still black as of a couple weeks ago, Its a DT but a touch bigger than 466 cubits tho.
 
I've always like the Fords repowered with Cummins motors, but that is a cool truck regardless. Saw one this weekend actually that I haven't seen before. Called "Powerstrokeless" and was at the DHRA pull in Owensville, MO Saturday night. Real sharp looking truck...
 
if it is the same truck its got some different mods on it now.....

somehting or someone named fred comes to mind with it but.....i dont know

What was the guys' name that owned that truck? I wondered what ever happened with it, never hear too much you know? Cool rig though.

The guy that originally owned the Black one that is pictured with the 466 was named Frank. (maybe still is, don't know for sure) Some local guys refered to him as "Frankenstein" with that big beast. I know he took it all over the country, loaded it on a train and went to Cali, won the Bully Dog event in Idaho while back. Shows up at some local W.PA pulls every once in a while. I had heard he was from Western Pa, and owned a chain of Papa John's. I saw him pull 2 summers ago, showed up at a small local pull, and pulled the sled into the pits. Could have driven it home. Stopped only because he ran out of open road. Insane.
 
were trying to get a sanctioned event to allow a jd 680cubic inch alcohol engine in a tube chasis truck......

Whammy! That's it, I can't find my DVD from High Desert '05 to find his name but I am almost positive that's the guy.

i was at that event in wachula and hes runnin a dt 466 with compound turbos, they sad part was he has to start it with either to get it started
 
Thats a low compression diesel for you, I know a few dedicated pulling trucks that need the can to fire up.
