I was an engineer on an ATRA truck back in the 80's and we made 1500Hp+ out of a 8v96 @ 3600rpm with 200mm injectors, twin turbo, 148mph @ the end of the straight at Atl.

Of all your “junk” this is the one I really want to see bought back to its former racing glory I love it. Great truck and great work so far Wayne 👍😀👊🇬🇧

Been waiting on this!!! So awesome to see it run love the old Detroit's and the old Fords from that era I remember watching that when I was a kid there can't be many of those trucks left gonna be awesome to see it restored. You should make a shirt for merch with it just the way it is lol. Just want to say thank you for saving that truck!! As for a name I think Tetnus would be fitting.

Been waiting for this one. GATR was such a cool series and the epitome of cool late late 70's / early 80's. Welcome back Wayne!

Never get tired of that sound. Great job

After that last video I thought I would never see this truck again. So pumped for another video and to see it running. I think Gator should be its name.

GREAT WORK WAYNO never doubted your ability to get this old iron Rocking & Rollin sounds perfect 👏👏👏👏👏🏆🏆🏆

Awesome Truck!!! Great to see it again and running this time. Put a good roof on it and run it like it is...SUPER bad ass!!!

Awesome you got it running, I knew you could do it. You sure know your 2 stroke Detroit engines.

You just got to love that old beast! I used to drive a International cab over that had a 8v in it and I loved that old junk 😂

Digging the old GATR rig. Gotta give it a classy name. Something from the Era. It reminds me of and old ford truck we had on the farm. We called her Sinclair! That old Louisville never never quit till it just about broke in half! Name her Sinclair!

Congrats Wayne on getting the GATR Truck engine running again. Sounds Great Wayne.. lv ur videos. this one is a keeper per sure.

Great Job Wayne, Glad She’s a Runner. Be nice to see it move, might be fun for some donuts. It’s now a Detroit Powered Funhouse.

Dang, she sounds so good! I would love to wheel that around Bristol on the dirt! We got a runner boys!!!!!

Call it Gator! I definitely would like to see more of this truck!

Nice job buddy! Happy you got this pile! I knew it was all you the first time i saw the ad! lol

Stumpy is a name. First thing that came to mind. I’m excited to see what comes of that truck.

Wayne hope you an Scott are doing good good luck with the race truck you get it running buddys

Well you all got it running and it sounds pretty good . 🤗👍💫

Wayne that is absolutely outstanding. Oh what pretty music.

I love this truck, well done Wayne! I know is looking very bad, but please consider it fix that cab, i love the way it looks, i would love to see it with the same cab as the original one. Scrap the rusted panels and weld some new ones. This is a big project, but i would love to see it restored and running. Pretty sure it would be crazy. Cheers from Italy.

This is a whole load of utterly awesome!! In the early 90's for too brief a period over this side of the pond a V8 DD (and a few v6's in lower class) was the go to motor for our truck racing top power class. A load of White Road bosses and a Kenny screaming around Brands Hatch etc has left a lasting addiction to that screaming music 🎶 🎶

Since it's a Ford and with the motor it has why not call her Louisville Slugger. You can definitely find old cabs and hoods laying around for replacements . If all else fails you should pull the motor and put it into a new truck restoration project. Thanks for the update.
