Richard Bennett truck


Here are some photos of my build. The frame is one of Richard Bennett's, one of his earlier frames that he raced and then sold to the Goss's I think. The frame has had some modifications prior to me purchasing the car as a roller. All suspension points are now heims and the front arms are longer. Shock mounts have also been modified. I have had the car for a year, progress is slow but I am learning as I go. I have most of the aluminium work finished, the body which I got from the states is nearly mounted and the tranny and engine coolers are mounted. It is set up for an LS2 and turbo400. At the moment it still has the pajero diff sitting in it but that will be replaced with a nine inch.

Yeah I am a huge fan of his trucks. I couldn't quite afford one of your new mid size trucks so this one will do me for nowsmile. Thats great to know i can call you with any questions I have, much appreciate it and will definantly take advantage of that. I met you very breifly at Goondi last year, I was there supporting Anthony Kuhn. I can not wait to see Tony's truck finished, its looking amazing in the build up photos.

No it definantly won't be ready for Gundi, it is a bit of a long term project. we are building a new house at the moment so that is taking up a lot of time and funds. I would like to be at finke next year. I will be seeing your truck at finke, can't wait to see it.
