You know when Gale Banks throws the combined efforts of his company into creating a truck to display their skills and ability at the SEMA Show, great things are afoot. As it turns out, this truck was one of the neatest things we saw at the entire show and the reason is because of stuff like you will see below. Packing a Whipple supercharged Duramax diesel and details that’ll make your head spin, this long and low Chevrolet really does show off the collective ability and brainpower of Banks Engineering.
One of the more functionally artistic parts of the build are the amazing long tube headers which are some of the wildest looking we have ever seen. Built by Dragos Toma, they are a testament to his skills as an exhaust evacuation artist. It really does take an amazing grouping of skillsets to make headers like this. Yes, there’s plenty of math involved, plenty of design horsepower, but at the end of the day you still have to basically make them from lengths of pipe and thin air. Oh, and he didn’t even get to pick the landing spot. Banks and crew affixed the collectors where they’d need to go and Toma figured out how to get from there to there.
We love the “all hands on deck” aspect of this video as it shows even companies like Banks which is so organized and results focused use all the allotted time to get their work complete before the show. So cool!
