1966 Kenworth Narrow Nose Race Truck

[DRIPTROIT 71]

This is a Superboss chassis, Movin On Cab, and a Resin Narrow hood from Spaulding. The engine is a twin turbo 8v-92 with an Allison transmission. This was inspired by Wayne Talkington’s 63 KW. Next project will be a hauler.

Nice race truck.
Talking about Wayne Talkington, he used to own Tyrone Malone's Hideout Truck transporter before Gary Reis from Hastings MN who has several of the Malone trucks bought it.

Reminds me of going to Indy to the truck drags in the late 70’s

Now this is an interesting, cool and realistic build.  Great job Brian.?

[Rattlecan Dan]

Really nice work. They still race those trucks? Haven't heard or seen anything about them in a while now.

Thanks Dan!! They still have semi drag races and circle track races, but I don’t know if many, or if any use a 2 stroke Detroit anymore. I haven’t kept up with it either.

[Vampira]

Very Kool

[Noah H.]

That's a sharp looking build. And what better powerplant for a race truck than a Screamin' Jimmy - can't beat the distinctive howl of one of those old two-strokes shifting through its gears. Nice work.
