In this episode of the Power Driven Podcast, we’re taking it back to our roots and talking about some of the most memorable trucks we’ve ever built. These aren’t just polished showpieces—they’re real-deal builds that have seen the street, the strip, and everything in between. Todd kicks things off with Ruby, his 2006 mega cab tow rig that started as a learning truck for common rail tuning and turned into a 1500 horsepower beast that can still hook up to a trailer. We also dive into the story of the Junker Drag Truck, a $1700 Craigslist find that turned into a legend after years of weekend wrenching and figuring things out the hard way. Then there’s the Shorty, a chopped 12-valve that’s now riding on a Duramax frame, four-wheel-drive, slammed low, and still making big power with compound turbos and a 6.7 Cummins common rail under the hood. Throughout the episode we talk about what worked, what didn’t, and what we learned from blowing head gaskets, snapping shafts, breaking blocks, and learning through it all. These builds weren’t done overnight, and none of them came easy. But every mile, every busted knuckle, and every late night in the shop was worth it. If you’re building your own truck, working with what you’ve got, or just looking for some real stories from guys who live and breathe diesel, this one’s for you.
