Valvoline 1st gen dodge cummins. Wow!

What a beautiful 1st gen!

Any clue as to where they would have got these flares from? Only thing I can think of is they modified some chevy flares, but they fit pretty well aside from not having a place for the fuel door to open.




Anyways, thought you guys may want to see this if you haven't already.

Interesting that whoever built those trucks chose spring-under for the front axle. Those springs hang pretty low!

From that hood up pic it looks like a common rail motor, not the old p-pump.

The first two pictures are taken on Pikes Peak for the Pikes Peak International Hill Climb. Its built to go fast vs rock crawl. Lower center of gravity is a good thing when your negotiating turns as fast as possible at 13K ft+ with minimal guard rail.

Pretty sure some drifter, Chris Forsberg and Ryan Tuerck, are doing a whole video series with Valvoline about taking that truck to Baja 1000 this year.

Not sure if it is a p-pump or not, but is a 24v cummins not the 12 valve with the ve pump that came stock in the 1st gens. Wouldn't be surprised if it was a p-pump though, considering the amount of fuel you can get out of them.

Seems like there is a pair of trucks... One with blue on the front and the other red...
