Olds-Powered Squarebody Dually Built at Home! | 455 Rocket Revival | Peace and Grease Podcast What do you get when you mix Midwest grit, old-school craftsmanship, and a fire-breathing 455 Oldsmobile big block? You get Justin’s 1976 GMC Crew Cab Dually, reborn from a Craigslist basket case into a ground-scraping, thunder-rolling highway bruiser. This isn’t your average squarebody story—it’s family, faith, fabrication, and full send. We sat down with Justin Frederick to hear the wild backstory of this home-built beast: a junkyard-salvaged Rocket 455 that’s been in his family since he was 12, a DIY dually conversion using a rare JC Whitney kit, and enough sweat equity to make even the Hoonigan crew nod in approval. Every wrench turn is personal, every mile driven a legacy.

Step into the world of hot rods, art, and pure Midwest grit with this episode of the Peace and Grease Podcast! This time, Sinclair sits down with longtime friend and creative force Justin Slingsby—an artist, gearhead, and storyteller whose journey is as raw and real as the rust on a well-loved Plymouth. From picking up his very first ’50 Plymouth business coupe fresh out of college, to wild backroad adventures, to building a reputation as a poster artist for legendary Minneapolis venues like First Avenue, Justin’s life has been fueled by cars, music, and art. He shares the stories behind his cylinder index, growing up obsessed with tractors, the rockabilly scene that shaped him, and how it all led to crating artwork and T-shirts that contributed to an underground movement. This isn’t just about cars—it’s about the culture that surrounds them. Expect laughs, nostalgia, a few near-misses, and a reminder of why we chase grease-stained dreams in the first place.
