Hmm .... For Barack Obama or for themselves ,,,, ??????

Hmmmm again ??????

Who knows.

A custom-built truck not only has to look good, it has to perform.
Matt Hughes knew he’d come to the right place when he saw the work of 2 Brothers Custom Trucks of Springfield, Ill. Hughes is a nine-time champion on the Ultimate Fighting Champion- ship (UFC) circuit – mixed martial arts competitive fighting. Hughes’ appreciation of classic trucks and desire for modern diesel power resulted in a three-month-long truck build that combines the best of both worlds – classic styling with modern technology and function. The AMSOIL reputation for quality lubricants was just what this build had to have to complete its champion theme. – Brian Walker, 2 Brothers Custom Trucks.

The “Project Matt Hughes” build began with two different trucks. The first was a classic 1966 rust-free C-10 Chevy from Texas. The second was a wrecked 2006 2500HD crew cab Chevrolet, providing to complete its champion theme,” Walker said.

 The completed project was publicly unveiled at the 4x4 Off Road Jamboree in Springfield, Ill.

A completely a “pipe-dream” become reality. The Duramax diesel and its Allison automatic transmission remained in the chassis, as did the transfer case and rear axle from the 2006. The front axle was a transplant Dana 60 from a 1979 Ford. It featured a one-of-a-kind Pro Comp Double X coil-over setup designed for the Ford Super Duty series of trucks in lieu of the IFS setup that came with the 2006 chassis.

     The truck features RBP 18 wheels and 35 Toyo Open Country M/T tires to help put the diesel’s torque to the ground. When it came to protecting the engine and drivetrain, the choice was clear for 2 Brothers. AMSOIL Dealer Hoyt Matthew of Rochester, Ill. delivered the AMSOIL lubricants that were used throughout, including SAE 15W-40 Heavy Duty Diesel and Marine Motor Oil (AME) in the engine and AMSOIL Synthetic ATF in the transmission and transfer case. They also used AMSOIL Brake Fluid, Antifreeze and Severe Gear Synthetic Gear Lube, as well as a WIX transmission filter and an AMSOIL Ea Oil Filter. Topping off this build was a custom-made intake tube, capped by an AMSOIL EaAU4090

A resurrected - hybrid pickup - one of the old and much of the new ... and Amsoil Synthetic lubricants and filters = to keep it going another 20 years - strong as ever.   WOW!
