Ever find yourself caught between two brands, having a hard time choosing a brand loyalty… because diesel owners don’t have brand loyalties right? Have no fear frankentruck is here! This pearl grape purple rig is one hot rod that will satisfy both your tastes if you are an International Harvester fan or a Chevy Duramax fan.
In the front providing propulsion is a 2001 custom IH 4700 truck. The 7.3-liter T444E engine is matted to an Allison six-speed automatic transmission with setting options geared for power or economy driving. While the interior remains mostly stock it features a leather bench in good shape and a custom audio system to rival the straight piped IH powerplant!
In the back of this royal purple truck, storage and hauling come courtesy of a new Chevrolet 3500 pickup bed. LED lighting and a tailgate assist system elevate the status of this working-mans’ truck to one-off head turning diesel.
Don’t think all these mods will sacrifice the original utilitarian nature of this IH, the owner claims the truck to still be able to tow a 53-foot fifth wheel at 70 mph no problem. Custom touches adorn the front of this truck to qualify its hot rod status: HID headlights, and a custom fabricated diamond plate bumper clear a path for this rig to roll.
If you are concerned they won’t hear you coming, this truck has you covered there too. A 5La train horn is powered by a 200 psi air compressor and holding tank! There is nothing discreet about this diesel truck rod. If you win this no reserve auction you could be cruising in style, hauling your toys, air conditioning on, and tunes blasting from the custom stereo for under 14K. You’ll be the only one around with one of these!
