71 Duster 360 turbo build
Well the Duster has been mostly sitting while I took care of other priorities, and hid from the heat. My truck was on the third transmission rebuild in less than 20k miles. ‘96 12v. Rebuilds by “the best manual transmission shop in AZ.” 5th gear in the NV4500 started getting noisy a year ago so I gave up on it and bought a g56. The swap was fairly straight forward with some minor fabrication. Best modification I’ve ever made to this truck. No more falling out of boost while towing hills, and shift quality is 10x better. After that it was time to bring my old ‘71 duster back down to the valley. My son will be 16 in a year so he’s going to get it back on the road.
