Project Hay Hauler: The Rust Repair Continues, And Boy Is This Project Snowballing! Is It Getting Too Nice?

Sometimes you start in on an already driving project, with the best intentions of just doing some minor stuff and getting it back on the road, only to end up falling down a rabbit hole of repairs that ends with a whole new engine build, or a complete rewire, or in the case of Project Hay Hauler the body coming off the chassis for rust repairs that just keep coming. To be fair, this truck had some serious swiss cheese going on, and the repairs could have been done “simpler” I suppose, but when you work in a hot rod and restoration shop like Scott does this is how things get done. We’ll keep you posted because this is the start of much more going on in this truck’s life, so stay tuned. If you missed any of the previous stories or video, use the link below.

Project Hay Hauler has been a fun one to follow, but it has always been with photos and words rather than video. Well, that’s all changing now that Rebeldryver, aka Scott Liggett, is doing A BUNCH of rust repair on this thing. I have to tell you, I’m not sure what to think if this thing has more than half the sheet metal in the rockers, and floors that don’t make the carpet wet when it rains. The truck has a great patina, but it also has had some pretty serious cancer that really needed fixing if this is going to be a driver in the long run. He’s already put a lot of miles on this truck, and it’s had a couple of different engines, but these rust repairs are certainly going to make it a lot nicer. Oh, and there is some bonus footage of projects that are being built at his day job. Check it all out.

Video Description:

This is our hot rod pickup, a 67 GMC. We are bringing into the shop, The Muscle Car Factory, to fix the rockers, floors and cab corners that were rusty. I also show the classic muscle cars that are currently in the shop for restoration. This truck has been a project vehicle on Bangshift.com. You can read all about Project Hay Hauler from the day we bought it.

Tre5 Customs OBS Chevy Feature: Red On Red On Red On Red…

Image
This cool truck feature from Tre5 Customs is an OBS that just about everyone can relate to. Yes, the fit and finish is high level, the chassis is rad, and the LS swap is on point, but overall this truck is still identifiable as an OBS, with only one body modification! It still has door handles, features some sport mirrors, and other than a welded in roll pan out back doesn’t have any body mods. It’s just as the general intended, only smoother and prettier. Check out the details in the video below. As we’ve said before, the guys at Tre5 build some pretty cool trucks, and I always like watching their feature videos that come along when a project is ready to get delivered to the owner. These aren’t super sexy videos that make you ooh and aah over the truck but never actually tell you what is in it and under it, these are videos that really show you the cool stuff that went into these builds! We’re talking about the details and info that real enthusiasts want. And while these trucks are t

Check Out This 6×6 Engesa EE-25 Army Truck And It’s Freaky Boomerang Rear Suspension In Action

Image
Army trucks, we love them. Why? Well for the same reason we love functional hot rods that are lacking in amenities but are heavy in ass kicking ability. No matter the country of origin you are typically not going to find a lot of cushy stuff in an army truck, especially a large one. They are loaded full of ability, though and that’s exactly what caught our eye when it comes to this Brazilian 6×6 Engesa EE-25 and its awesome Boomerang rear axle. The truck uses a walking beam style layout but it can articulate in some incredible ways to keep the rears planted while the rest of the chassis rises to some pretty steel angles. Quoting a story on the rear suspension: The suspension of the EE-25 utilizes live axles and leaf springs, the rear suspension having a conspicuous “Engasa Boomerang” walking beam, a feature seen on several other Engesa 6-wheeled military vehicles. This suspension articulates, allowing the EE-25 to traverse large undulations with greatly increased traction, handling,

FAST LSXR INTAKE TEST-IS IT WORTH $1000? HOW MUCH HP DOES IT ADD? LSXR VS CHEAP, JUNKYARD TRUCK INTAKE

Image
One thing that sucks about modern EFI engines like the LS, LT, Mod Motors, And HEMIs is that aftermarket intake manifolds for them tend to be really expensive. It’s understandable as there is a lot of technology going on in there and the manufacturing is way different than the typical cast aluminum intake manifold. Some of these intakes cost around $600 but some are closer to $1,500. The question is whether or not they are worth it. In truth, we know they work, and work well, but whether it is worth the money or not is going to be up to you. In this test video from Richard Holdener, who has tested more LS intake manifolds than anyone on earth, he’ll show the real results of testing this hopped-up 5.3 with a stock truck intake and a FAST LSXr. Video Description: LOW-BUCK, CHEAP, JUNKYARD TRUCK INTAKE VS BIG BUCKS FAST LSXR! HOW MUCH POWER IS THE FAST LSXR INTAKE WORTH ON MY LS? SHOULD I BUY IT FOR MY STOCK 4.8L OR 5.3L? FAST VS TRUCK INTAKE-WHO WINS? HOW MUCH POWER IS THE INTAKE UPGRA
