1,300 Horsepower and Pure Adrenaline - Meet Ryan's Sick 50 Mega Truck

Mike’s Sick 50 Chevrolet mega truck represents everything that makes mud bogging addictive. This classic 1950 Chevy pickup has been transformed into an absolute beast that doesn’t just crawl through mud - it launches over it, skims across water, and puts on a show that’ll make your jaw drop. When you watch this machine work, you understand why mega trucks have become the ultimate expression of horsepower meeting mud.

The Sick 50 isn’t your average weekend warrior rig. Built around a classic Chevrolet body, this mega truck packs serious hardware under the hood and underneath. The suspension setup alone tells you this truck means business - those massive 14.9 tires aren’t just for show. They’re mounted on 2.5-ton axles that can handle the punishment of repeated launches and bone-jarring landings that would destroy lesser rigs.

What really sets the Sick 50 apart is the powerplant. Ryan Camp, the mastermind behind this build, stuffed a 540 cubic inch blower motor between the fenders. The 1271 BDS blower force-feeds this beast enough air and fuel to generate 1,300 HP. Running on alcohol fuel through carburetors, this setup delivers the kind of instant throttle response that makes mega truck racing so spectacular. When Ryan mashes the throttle, those rear tires hook up and launch this Chevy like it’s shot from a cannon.

The Sick 50 proves that mega trucks aren’t just about brute force - they require serious engineering to handle the extreme conditions. Those Scot shocks work overtime to keep the truck planted during jumps and absorb the impact when several tons of steel and horsepower come crashing back to earth. The FDI transmission handles the power delivery, ensuring that all 1,300 horses make it to the ground when needed.

What makes watching the Sick 50 so entertaining is how Ryan drives it. This isn’t some trailer queen that only comes out for photo shoots. He hammers this truck through mud bogs, sends it flying over jumps, and pushes it to its limits at events like Iron Horse, Perkins mud bog, and Vermonster. The truck takes everything Ryan can dish out and keeps coming back for more.

The hydroplaning footage from West Georgia Mud Park shows just how capable this rig really is. Instead of plowing through the water like most weaker trucks, the Sick 50 skims across the surface thanks to its combination of power, speed, and those massive tires.

When you watch the Sick 50 in action, you’re seeing decades of mud bogging evolution distilled into one incredible machine. Ryan Camp has created something that honors the classic truck it started as while pushing the boundaries of what’s possible in modern mega truck competition. Whether it’s launching over jumps, skimming across ponds, or just putting on a show for the crowd, the Sick 50 delivers every single time.
