DRIPTROIT 71

These were the predecessor to the 3208. They were the 1100 Cat series. They were made by Cat for Ford. They were designated the Ford V150 (Cat1140), Ford V175 (Cat 1145), Ford V200 (Cat 1150) and Ford V225 (Cat 1160). These can easily be modified into a 3208 by removing the logo from the valve covers and changing the injection pump from an in-line style to a v-style.

A little more done although it is hard to tell.

Charles, your work is always so clean and crisp, it is definitely an inspiration to the rest of us.

Thanks Vince! Thanks to JT, I’m going with orange. Here is a little progress.

Looks Awesome!! Those lift brackets really add to the realistic look.

I have planned all yellow, but I’ve been strongly considering orange. I will probably go black on the chassis as this will be mostly an asphalt hauler.

Here is my new project. The cab conversion, the bed, the engine, and at least one of the pusher axles are from Gary Wallace. The rear suspension is rubber block, I think from Clint Freeman. The engine is a M-11 Cummins. This one will ride on Mobeius wheels and tires.

Thanks!! Thanks Chuck!!

Thanks!

Thanks!

Thanks Chuck!

Thanks Brian!

Thanks Vince!! The 450 was actually the Super Red Diamond. It was 450C.I.D. with 182hp @ 3000 rpm and 388 ft. lb. of torque at 1600rpm. This compared to the available Cummins C160 which had 160hp and 376ft. lb. of torque at 1400rpm. There was also the optional supercharged C180 Cummins that had 180 hp and 425 ft. lb. of torque @ 1700 rpm.

This one is a fiberglass cab on a 4300 chassis. It is powered by an IH Red Diamond 450 gas engine.

I guess if I would have paid attention to the first part of your post I would have seen that it was going to be a 379.😃 Looking forward to seeing another great motorhome build!
