This truck gathers a crowd anywhere it goes! Conductive Classics built the truck and this is taken from one of the articles written about it; "The goal was to have something with similar power to what the stock truck had when new - torque somewhere in the range of 160 pound-feet. using a NetGain Motors only makes 120 horsepower, but it's hard to compare the output to a traditional internal combustion engine because the power is so linear with an EV." Although the original three-on-the-tree gearbox was tossed out during the conversion, the team chose to keep a manual transmission in the mix.

"We use these transmissions behind 800 horsepower LS engines, so we knew it could easily handle the power. More importantly, though, we also knew there was an adapter plate available to mate this transmission to the electric motor."
