This custom 1949 Ford F1 is called Old Smokey and was built by Chuckles Garage<\/a> in Santa Rosa, California. Old Smokey was built to be a shop truck and show off their fabrication skills.<\/p>\n

\"1949<\/a><\/p>\n

Powering the truck is a built 5.9 L ISB Cummins inline-six diesel from a 2005 Freightliner. Helping the engine produce power are an Industrial Injection Silver Bullet 66 mm and Big Brother Schwitzer Series 91 mm turbochargers running in a compound setup.<\/p>\n

\"1949<\/a><\/p>\n

All told the Cummins diesel produces 1,200 horsepower and 2,000 lb-ft of torque. The engine runs off a 2006 Cummins ECU with a AEM V2 for speed based boost control and as a fail-safe to the main ECU.<\/p>\n

\"1949<\/a><\/p>\n

There is even a Nitrous Express NXD diesel nitrous system to remove any hint of lag. <\/p>\n

\"1949<\/a><\/p>\n

Behind the engine sits a Dodge 47RH four-speed automatic transmission upgraded with Suncoast Diesel billet components and solenoid to allow for sequential shifting. From there power reaches a Winters Xtremeliner quick-change rear end.<\/p>\n

\"1949<\/a><\/p>\n

The truck rides on a factory front chassis and custom tubular rear. The front suspension is a tubular a-arm setup with custom lower control arms and SPC adjustable upper arms. The rear suspension is a 4-link with adjustable panhard bar. AFCO Pro Touring remote reservoir shocks are used on every corner.<\/p>\n

All these components add up to one really unique truck. After making an appearance at SEMA 2016 you should start seeing it race in everything from drag racing, road racing, drifting, autocross, and even land speed racing.<\/p>\n
