Now we all know the Dodge fans have the Cummins, The Ford folk have their Internationals and GM crowd has the Duramax...Well most of the GM crowd anyway. The guy who built this gem wanted a pickup with a Caterpillar engine and damned if he didn't build one sweet Jimmy.

The truck is a GMC 3500 HD. A 3126B Cat backed with a World Class series Allison automatic provides the motive power. 4 years in the building the detail on this thing is fantastic.

Done from the ground up the owner/builder didn't over look anything. The mounts were custom built and the firewall was notched 5" to allow for the extra engine length. All of the tubing on this rig, no matter what it handles, is stainless steel. Exhaust, rad pipes, brake lines, air intakes, trans cooler lines, every piece of tubing is stainless. He used the gear driven Bendix air compresser to supply breeze for a for real Horton air operated fan clutch.
