trouble is all the good stuff has been exported or scrapped
rockwells are nuts though, If I had a nice little lottery win id go out to the states and fill a few containers up with junk

These axles came off a GMC Tavern IRA truck that the MOD had rebuilt, cost me £675 all in for a Dana 70 front and two 80 rears, then say about £160 in delivery charges/fuel so not too bad really especially given the price of upgrading to a set of HD Ashfroft Force 9's
So hard trying to find decent parts in the UK, as you say a few containers from the states is the way to go. Make a fortune importing the good stuff like engines, axles and transfer boxes from there plus new parts for Chevy engines given real steels crazy prices!

Do you know how much that thing weighs
Physical Dimensions and Weight
The 8V92 engine is 65 inches (1,651 mm) long, 46 inches (1,168 mm) wide and 47 inches (1,194 mm) tall. Detroit Diesel engines are generally heavier than comparable engines from other companies. As such, the Detroit Diesel 8V92 weighs 3,230 pounds (1,465 kg).
Then you need a radiator and intercooler add another 5-600 pounds

Oh I know I did the research, but my chassis is the same thickness as a peterbilts at 1/4" it's being fully triangulated with a built in cage and having some extra diamond plates welded in along its length and the springs/axle/hydro steer will cope with the weight.
The local breaker and my mates dad have scrap trucks I can pick at for parts so that's not an issue for me getting the heavy pieces I need
It's a way off anyway, need to make the chassis first
I have 7.5t on my license to play with so I'm using it

I'm with JM its a pipe dream lots of bits some people rate bolted to a make a thing-,
The sad thing is, Dr has already destroyed a series never to see the road again. At least this latest idea will only destroy a "Thing".
