So Jenna didnt believe that I built a truck that runs off of vegtable oil, so Here is the proof.

I found this truck in a junkyard without a motor or tranny, so I bought an older truck of the same make and replaced the motor.

The Project Truck: 1990 Red Isuzu Spacecab. Original motor was a V6 gasoline.

The Donor Truck: A 1986 Isuzu P'up (Pick Up) With a 2.2 4cylinder Diesel Motor.

Let the games begin!
