rkatapt and his buddy Max want you to vote for his awesome truck (it is #9 on the list) so that it will be used in an upcoming movie. Here’s a picture of the truck.
 
Looks like it's a race betweem #2 (34490) and #9 (34643), each with 40% of the votes as of this post. We need to get more votes for that truck.
 
1978 Lil Red Express Pickup Truck - Retrofitted with a 1994 12V cummins diesel engine and transmission. Twin turbo w/ nitrous, gets 28MPG cruising around town and still is a mid 10 sec 5000lb truck.


#1. Diesel engines dont run on nitro then run on propane for a boost I know this due to my fathers Detroit 60 series. I runs on a boost of propane for the mountain runs.

going threw 16+ gears with all that torque is an eye opener.
 
Voting for the Mach1, its WAY better than any of the import crap, and much better than the truck.
 
Seriously?! Over the Goat?!
Mad props to the truck and all, but I just can't bring myself to pass over the GTO.
So I voted for the GTO from home and for the truck from work.
 
I voted for him, hopefully he can win. But his competition is steep that 1969 GTO is awesome.

If it was a '69 Mach1, I'd agree, but when Ford flattened out the sexy scallop of the tailight panel of the mustang in '70, they lost me.
At least it's not a '71.....
 
Voted.

A lot of people are not going to know this and I wish Steve could have added in a brief history on this truck but yeah, that truck ... is all factory. Stack pipes, decals, color and not shown, a special tail-gate If I am not mistaken. That's a limited edition full production car.

When I was kid, these were all over Texas.

In fact, where Kyle lives and I suspect some of his employees live, I grew up as well in that area.

Dallas, Denton, Garland, Arlington, Mesquite, Plano, Farmers Branch, Irving, Grand Praire, etc.

I a few years older than those guys but This trucks were all over and very popular when I was a kid. Also, the Starsky & Hutch Gran Torino's that were also a production car. Red with the white swoosh. The coolest thing I ever saw as a kid? Halloween night, 1980, I was 11 or 12, could have been 81, our church took us to a haunted house that was setup in one of the million shopping centers there within the "golden tri-angle" ....

3 x 1970 Roadrunner Superbirds with the huge wings. Just 3 guys and their girlfriends hanging out. The hottest car back then was the brand new re-design of the Camero in 1980. All the kids loved this. Not me, I was a true muscle-car fan after seeing those Superbirds.

What's the saddest thing I've ever let pass me up. I was living in the Bay Area, Sunnyvale with a friend for the summer that was dating a girl over in Sac. This was 1990, I was 21. I had saved a lot of money for the summer fun I had planned with my friend Mike. One day in Sac we were out driving around and we saw a car for sale sign on a 1970 Plum Crazy ( Purple ) Roadrunner. It was a 426 Hemi unsure if it was number matching with pistol grip 4-speed. It was a rust free non-running California car. The owner said I am going to give you a deal of a life-time. I will sale this car for you and haul it for you for 1,000 dollars. I had the money but it was the start of the summer and my vacation and it would have taken 1/2 the money I had. I passed.

I hate myself still today.

Awesome truck and brought back lots of memories.
 
I voted for the truck, but I really like the charger better. The GTO looks great too.

I voted, but it might not count?!
 
The truck got mine. It's rare to see these days, and has a very original powertrain. How many of those old trucks do you see with a modern day diesel type setup? Awesome.
 
A Little Red Express!!! I haven't seen one of those in a long time. I'd love to have one.. Voting now!
