This unique 1970 Dodge D-series truck called “Rollin’ Charcoal” was built by Plowboy Diesel in New Douglas, Illinois. The idea for the project started when someone joked there was enough room in a 1st gen D-series truck to fit two engines. After measuring the 1st gen couldn’t fit two but the 2nd gen D-series could. The truck rides on a custom frame with straight axle front, triangulated 4-link rear, air bags and air brakes. Under the hood sits a pair of 5.9 L 6BT inline-six engines each with compound BorgWarner turbochargers. The drivetrain consists of a custom gear case that connects the output of both engines into one shaft for the Track Master 47RE four-speed automatic transmission. The charged air is kept cool thanks to a very large intercooler with four electric fans while engine coolant runs through the frame to three radiators in the bed.

This means there is about 1200 kg worth of engine in that truck. Nice.
All sitting over the front axle. About as useful as tits on a boar hog.
I guess that’s a reason why you don’t always see twin Cummins 6BT, lol
a lot of power!!
looks like a daily driver to me
