00:04 I wanted to do a rat ride. It's definitely everything that I could have wanted and more.
00:11 00;01;22;22 - 00;01;29;22 Unknown
00:14 Peterbilt trucks come in all shapes and sizes, but have you ever seen one quite like this?
00:21 00;01;29;22 - 00;01;39;22 Unknown
00:21 Raw, massive and unique. There's just nothing else out there like it.
00:33 00;01;39;22 - 00;01;50;22 Unknown
00:35 It draws attention wherever it goes and it makes people smile.
00:39 00;01;50;22 - 00;02;00;22 Unknown
00:43 I'm Jim Muncy and this is Overkill.
00:45 00;02;00;22 - 00;02;05;22 Unknown
00:47 It is totally, completely unique. There's nothing else out there like it.
00:52 00;02;05;22 - 00;02;10;22 Unknown
00:53 Unique indeed. Jim took a 359 Peterbilt and set about creating this awe-inspiring
00:59 beast of a machine.
01:00 00;02;10;22 - 00;02;17;22 Unknown
01:01 I had this vision of a rat ride semi truck. I had an old semi, this in 2015,
01:09 kind of outlined what I had in mind. It evolved more into a hot rod.
01:14 00;02;17;22 - 00;02;25;22 Unknown
01:14 The majority of the work was done within five months.
01:17 00;02;25;22 - 00;02;30;22 Unknown
01:21 I just looked at it one day and said, this thing's Overkill.
01:24 00;02;30;22 - 00;02;37;22 Unknown
01:26 I look at this thing and to me, it's a rolling piece of art.
01:29 00;02;37;22 - 00;02;44;22 Unknown
01:31 With the raw steel frame, the leather and the wood interior.
01:36 00;02;44;22 - 00;02;50;22 Unknown
01:38 So the main frame is just done with two inch mild steel pipe.
01:42 00;02;50;22 - 00;02;57;22 Unknown
01:42 It just gives the whole truck a nice, beefy, industrial look.
01:46 00;02;57;22 - 00;03;00;00 Unknown
01:47 We just put a lot of different materials that wouldn't necessarily normally go together
01:53 and incorporated into a really cool hot rod.
01:56 00;03;00;00 - 00;03;05;00 Unknown
01:59 I've been a gearhead ever since I was 15 years old. I just love fast cars and trucks.
02:05 00;03;05;00 - 00;03;10;00 Unknown
02:07 It's a blast to drive. I mean, just looking out over that big,
02:11 massive engine and that long hood is just, it's just cool. It's fun.
02:16 00;03;10;00 - 00;03;17;00 Unknown
02:16 And while this vehicle may have changed beyond recognition,
02:20 it still retains the original engine.
02:22 00;03;17;00 - 00;03;22;00 Unknown
02:23 It's an 855 cubic inch Cummins Big Cam 3. This is our air intake. It was made out of
02:30 two top fuel dragster hats. We also have triangulated four link suspension and airbags.
02:37 00;03;22;00 - 00;03;30;00 Unknown
02:37 To control the ride height and ride quality.
02:40 Performance wise, right now we're putting out about 450 horse,
02:49 1400 foot pounds of torque with the 306 gear and a direct drive Allison automatic transmission.
02:57 It's good to about 100 mile an hour before it hits up a range of the RPMs.
03:01 00;03;30;00 - 00;03;50;00 Unknown
03:02 And it's also good for burnouts.
03:04 00;03;50;00 - 00;04;00;00 Unknown
03:08 Makes a little smoke, doesn't it?
03:18 The lug nut covers were made from billet aluminum.
03:26 They were machined for us by a high school chop class,
03:31 and they just turned out absolutely beautiful.
03:33 00;04;00;00 - 00;04;30;00 Unknown
03:34 The wing is just for fun. It has no purpose other than to look cool.
03:38 00;04;30;00 - 00;04;40;00 Unknown
03:39 I really don't have any problems finding a parking spot or turning around. It's really got
03:45 a very sharp turning radius.
03:48 00;04;40;00 - 00;04;50;00 Unknown
03:48 And of course, this rig turns a few heads when it's out and about.
03:53 00;04;50;00 - 00;05;00;00 Unknown
03:54 The best thing about driving overkill is just just the reactions of people.
03:57 00;05;00;00 - 00;05;00;00 Unknown
03:58 That's what it's all about. It's just fun. It makes people smile.
04:01 00;05;00;00 - 00;05;00;00 Unknown
04:02 They've never seen anything like it before, so everybody's into it.
04:06 00;05;00;00 - 00;05;00;00 Unknown
04:07 And it's just a unique, wild vehicle.
04:11 00;05;00;00 - 00;05;00;00 Unknown
04:11 I built one motorcycle and I've always wanted to build something else.
04:15 But this is way beyond anything I could ever dream of. This is so cool.
04:19 00;05;00;00 - 00;05;00;00 Unknown
04:20 It's awesome. You don't see anything like this ever, really. Super singles, open wheel
04:25 and the four link on airbags. I mean, it's got everything, everything you could ever ask for
04:31 in a rat rod.
04:32 00;05;00;00 - 00;05;00;00 Unknown
04:35 You can't be in a hurry if you're going to take it somewhere. It's going to get a crowd
04:39 of people around it, want to take pictures.
04:41 00;05;00;00 - 00;05;00;00 Unknown
04:43 I wanted to do a rat rod semi truck, and it's definitely everything that I could have
04:50 wanted and more.
04:52 00;05;00;00 - 00;05;00;00 Unknown
