This 1952 Studebaker truck is riding on a 1998 Dodge chassis. It is currently powered by a Cummins 5.9 L 12v inline-six diesel with a single turbo and nitrous system. The engine is making arouind 440 horsepower and 1,090 lb-ft of torque to the rear wheels. The transmission is a Dodge NV4500 five-speed manual.
