The Blastolene Piss-off-Pete

What do you get when you cross a 1961 Peterbilt 351A Truck with a 12V71 V-12 twin supercharged two stroke Detroit Diesel? You get this creation called the Piss-off-Pete, created by Randy Grubb. Continue reading after the jump!

Randy told me that this thing took 15 months to put together, with those gorgeous headers completed only two weeks ago. This was once a 1960 Peterbilt, with a vintage 1972 Detroit Diesel. Backing up all that power is an Allison Truck Automatic. Take a good look at the interior, and check out the hand tooled saddle leather, which includes a map pocket! The other piece of engineering that caught my eye was the 1/4 rear springs that Randy said was very difficult engineer.

This truck is about to be put up at the Russo & Steele auction, with a reserve in the low six figures. All I can say is nice work.
