Pappy's truck reminds me of an altered wheel base car. It's pretty sweet.

Rap'em Pappy · 11-17-2009, 12:07 AM

Here is the front shot. The front is all GMC. I used 6 fenders to make the two. It took 3 hoods to make one. I cut up 2 chevy hoods. I was a lot of hammering and sanding. Then do it all over again. And Again. The grill and bumper was white. The wife then decided it need some contrast. So spring green it is.

The V12'ers just might get together next year. I think that would be super cool.

watahyahknow · 11-17-2009, 12:26 AM

you guys probably never heared of the thunderbirds it was a puppetshow when i was young the show originated from england , anyway lady peneloppe in that show drove a pink rolls called fab 1 with four steering frontwheels ( http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_bkFIPLIOGL...h/FAB1_800.jpg ), with the way the fender looks now you might as whell put a second axle behind the front one

Rap'em Pappy · 11-17-2009, 02:37 PM

The long hole behind the wheel is there for a reason. You have discovered
what I will be doing this winter. My idea is to build headers with 6 pipes out
each side. I started making them, but it is going to take a lot of time. The pipes I have now are just to get it on the road.

**Dieselwrencher** · 11-17-2009, 05:21 PM

Looking very nice!

thats awesome that you are doing that, I was going to suggest it, but your truck looked done, so I didn't ...with the pipes like that it is going to look like a big hotwheels car!

maybe down the road you can fab up a stack style fuel injection system for it, those pipes and 12 stacks out the hood would be perfect.

296moon · 11-18-2009, 08:08 AM

Am likeing this alot, hope your going to have open pipes, will be makin mine soon

296moon I love your (funnytruck?) funnycar dragster truck. I was studying that photo you posted and could just barely make out that impressive rubber out back. So I went to photobucket hoping to get a better look and wasn't disappointed. I hope you don't mind but I thought I'd post up a couple of photos for everyone else to see.

watahyahknow · 11-18-2009, 10:30 AM

just immagination running amock running the headerexits among the top of the hole making it look like the exaust out of a p51 mustang

**Dieselwrencher** · 11-18-2009, 04:42 PM

That would look sweet!

jchav62 · 11-19-2009, 02:36 PM

Wow!!!

Damien · 11-20-2009, 12:19 PM

With the "zoomies" you need to lower the front of the GMC to give it the funny car look. I can see it now and it is sweet!

ChevLoRay · 11-27-2009, 11:17 PM

Think about the Ramchargers original car, a '50 Plymouth 3-window coupe. It had the wildest set of stacks that I can recall.

KQQL IT · 11-28-2009, 03:50 AM

Ohhh 12 megaphones... That would be awesome and crazy loud DO it

those were one special set of headers... they were tuned to scavenge the cylinders I read somewhere that they almost worked too good in that aspect, and they had to redesign them some.

definately cool looking though.

i think someone needs to move this thread to the 60-66 forum

I'm waiting on a reply from Marvin about the chassis he used. He started out this build with the plan to use a '91 Crew Cab. Things progressed from there to what it is now.

But, you are right because basically everything one sees is '60-66. Waiting on Marvin...

somewhere in here it mentions that he used a ford f100 chassis I think? on maybe 3rd or 4th page?

I posted a link on the 60-66 last week, and they were less than receptive...downright rude in some cases....for a while I had thought this thread should be over there, but felt that the people that already knew about it would be unable to find it, after some of the comments I saw, I think it is just fine here...IMO

I'm open to any and all ideas. Progress is sloow.
I picked up a junked V-12 stripped block today to use when building motor mounts and spacings. Don't have to worry about skinning up the running motor, plus much less weight to handle.

here it is :page 9 ..72 ford f350

cayoterun · 11-29-2009, 12:11 PM

ChevLoRay has asked me about the truck.
Originally I intended to put it in the '91 Chev crewcab I had, but that would have defeated my purpose of having a restored, running V-12 for "Show and tell". The motor would have been too hard to see how they designed & built the old brutes.

It has a '72 Ford F-350 139"wb frame under it and front suspension.

It's tagged and titled now as a '62 GMC 1/2 ton.

It may eventually have a 9" Ford 2.73 gear rear end under it, single wheels, then add the Fleetside bed that was the mate to the present cab.

It's entirely up to the mods where they feel the best place to post it. I like the idea of a build section, but appreciate this site for letting me hang out here with my toys.
You guys comments and suggestions has had a big influence on how we have got this far. Several other V-12ers has been watching the site and gleaning info to use on theirs. I expect other 12ers will pop in here along with Rap 'em papy and I in the future.
Thanks for all your comments and suggestions, past and future. The discussions are a big help.
Cayoterun

jonzcustomshop · 11-29-2009, 08:36 PM

^ I am curious to see how yours will look with single wheels and a fleet bed.

here's a v12 going together in maryland:

cayoterun · 11-29-2009, 08:51 PM

Nice! I'm glad to see some of the old brutes brought back and preserved in some way. The simplicity of design and maintenance was far ahead of their time.
Thanks for posting,
Cayoterun

watahyahknow · 11-29-2009, 08:56 PM

looks like he uses my idea of mounting the engine backwarth and reroute the driveline back to the rear .
i would love to see the buildtread on that one

cayoterun · 11-29-2009, 09:02 PM

Shows you guys aren't forgotten, Whatahyahknow, It helps us alot.
