still dont get it... I understand that that triangle shaped thing is what spins around inside and thats how it makes the power, but I still dont get it. Its just so different and stupid compared to a v8 rotating assembly.

You have a triangle in a circle. There is space between the edge of the triangle and the wall of the circle that forms the combustion chamber. As the triangle spins, the distance between the edges of the triangle and the circle change, similar to a piston reaching TDC or BDC.

The nice thing about the design is that it is well balanced and uses momentum to its advantage. There are no heavy pistons to accelerate one direction, stop and then accelerate the other way. All the parts move in a single direction and they stay that way. It let's you rev the crap out of them. Also, you could concievably stack as many as you wanted since firing geometry isn't a huge problem. I always thought a 10 or 12 "cyl" version would make for a fun toy. To bad the wiper seals suck.

ok if dodge takes a gen 3 and does that I will have no problem with it

That's pretty damn slick. Looks like they took a GenIII QC bed and skinned it with original bedsides into the cab.

Very nice!

Like it alot. Wouldnt be to hard to finish it up. Agree with others why all that time spent and a simple job like raising the rear bumper was missed wtf? And i agree with caulk04 looks like a gen3 bed floor

98? So he imported it here? And yes, the seals don't make 100k with the turbo'd ones, LS/2JZ swaps FTW!

No he bought it from a dealer in Orlando a few years back. He got a good deal on it because it needed some serious body work. But it was just smashed panels no structural damage. I just ordered the panels from the shop I used to work at.

If its a 98 it wasn't originally a US car.

So what is this kind of truck classified as?
The only reason I say "Unibody" is because if you search "unibody truck" in google images it will pull up pictures of trucks that look similar to the pictures I posted.

Hey there how's it going? I seen the article of the truck you posted about. I currently own this truck and I have it up for sale. If You know of anyone, my number is 971-757-8112. I live in Rainier Oregon. My name is John
