Kevin, you make me mad :)

Why is that?

http://videos.streetfire.net/video/b35ca1df-e385-4636-b671-999d010bd847.htm

Well not mad at you, but like crazy mad. I was so close to selling my motor and droping some decent money on a 4" stroke L98 (418 CI LS1) to get in the high 9's on the bottle. Then I came back to reality and decided to keep this motor for a while since it is fresh and works fairly well and lighten my truck, see what I can do with the motor that is in it.

Weight makes a crazy difference. I really want a bigger motor myself. I want to do an ls motor in my dads old 79 toyota for my son to race!

Here's mine. All 4200lbs of it!!!

My '67

YouTube - Lil Red Thunder Valley Pass

72 Cheyenne

thats some nice trucks, i hope my truck cmes out like those

what size wheels and tires are you guys running? And what kind of drop front and rear. I have 15" wheels now. my 67 is tubbed to. I like how djracer truck sits.

My truck has 10 inch wheels in the rear and 3 1/2's in the front. The rear of my truck is c notched with trailing ams coilovers and an antiroll. I have a fatman mustang II front suspension. Its pretty low but I don't actually know how much drop.

hey djracer. is your rearend still stock width and what backspacing are you runnin on those 10's.

its a little narrower than stock and I think they are 5 inch backspacing

Yeah, I'm starting to try and take weight out. Took the front bumper off the other day and cut the frame horns back. I'm going to build a roll pan for it. I might actually make it more of a square bumper looking piece.

Yanked the heater box as well.

I have a Vega Steering box that I need to go find a pitman arm for, that will get rid of the steering pump and big huge power box.

Any sugestions on a OEM dual resevor manual brake master? That's another thing I was to swap out.

Those are the weight savings on the cheap, I want to buy a glass hood first, then fenders, maybe nose come too. But that will be in stages.

I was thinking about cutting out the factory front cross member and redoing it in 2x3 .120 or .180 wall... But that might be a ton of work for very little savings.

you can get a dual manual master cylinder for a 71 truck and make it work some of those trucks came with manual disc. you may have to shorten the rod or something. I went from drum to disc and used one of these on my uncles 66gmc

I wonder if these guy could do a front roll pan.

I like this truck

I think this is the same truck

sweet little truck. How fast is it?

P.M sent . I run some races here in Houston were the rules are "different " and posting my time could get me booted out . I will say I don't want to put bars in it .

Hey where can I find out more about that guy and his twin turbo beast? that was awesome

Some n20 test and tuning

YouTube - 69chevy vs. wrxbmx

subaru that says he runs a 12.1 at 115.

the bottom video a friend edited and thought he'd be funny. sorry about the music

YouTube - 69chevy vs. WRXBMX

the beginning quotes were the soobie talking trash saying my small block wouldnt have the balls to hang with him, and i'd need my 489 thats in the making

the long set was from this race, you can see where i grabbed the button and it came unglued

Boy don't you know street racing is illegal...

Outlaw, your right. Pictures are worth a thousand words aren't they :)

http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j244/LowLimits/DSCN1410_163.jpg
saw this one over at spring bash year before last

looks to be a little rub mark on the rear wheel well

I noticed that too! its a nasty and low ride!

Kinda looka like body work, like a pannel was added in? Is the wheel opening dropped, compare it to the stepside above, pretty sure it's been dropped, or the whole fender made taller also, or does it just look that way cause of the strip?

Would it be heavy if it had an 8ft bed or too hard to control. I don't think I would do that to mine if I had it restored, just to put it on the dragstrip and total it. Either way they are nice and very loud.:metal::metal::metal:

Outlaw, your right. Pictures are worth a thousand words aren't they :)

lol


he added a channel to the fender. looks bad a@# tuckin that tire like that.

You caught me....you caught the tater..lol

Couch,

I found a photo of outlaw on a street racing website and sent it to him. He might not be sooo inocent after all.. Kinda funny I got a hold of it in Cali and he is in Texas :) shows that the internent can really dig up dirt.

Here's a few of my brother inlaws , he drives, i wrench... 468 with a glide, truck 12 bolt housing with a 4:88 spool . We ran solid for a few years and had a run of bad luck (motor wise) last two seasons.Coming back out to play this year. Has run a best 10.07 /131 and change..had really bad lau342489

342490

342491nching problems at first but i think we have it figured out..The guy that switched it over to a four link for us finally hit the setup.

Here's my race truck. It wouln't do the 1/4 mile in 11 seconds, but it will do the hill climb.

Sweet looking truck!

A couple more. The "Little Red Wagon" was very popular years ago and you guy's that have long term memories may remember it. Still have a car mag or two with articles on this truck.

esll. :mm:

I forgot to put my own truck on here

yeah.my dad was gettin on me for racing and i dug up some **** on him from back in the day when he used to be in the game.now he doesnt say @%$# when he sees the slicks go on the truck. just be careful

Here's a pic and a link to a buddies 1954 GMC 3/4 ton (formerly a long bed), Hillborn injected Caddy 500 powered backed by a tremec 5 speed drag truck. This thing is absolutely nutty to watch tear down the 1320! He is currently working the bugs out, the last track day he pretzel'd the tourqe arm! Here's the link that displays the truck, the site is run by a member of the local car club - The Relics.

You guys have alot of sweet looking trucks,I hope my blazer look's as nice when done.

Here is a truck that races up here in minnesota and he did race the pump gas drags a few years ago.

http://i49.photobucket.com/albums/f278/Malibu496/cust29.jpg

Sweet old 70 chevy with a Duramax in it. Has hit 9s...

That's f***ing sweet!

That's f***ing sweet!

yeah, he's rebuilding during the off season and hoping to be one of the first into the 8s in his class.

He is also building an Altered t-body car. I'd be guessing but I'd say they'll be going for sub 7sec passes in it. :metal:


Chris Caulkin is co-owner of the truck. I understand he is a pretty well known chassis guy.



C-ya

I had posted up about that truck before, here's a link about halfway down the page is some more pics.

What's up man....another Ft. Worth member....awesome.

Mine's just has a 468, th350 on a 150 shot. the 468 is very mild....stock 781's, air gap intake and a small solid flat tappet cam. Mine has absolutely no suspension work, in fact it is stiff as a board. The tire and the trailing arms help me get out of the hole. I am getting ready to open a gear shop in the area. You are more than welcome to send me a PM and we can meet sometime.

This is my 2008 season 72 Chevy 1/2T Fleetside street stock pickup running out of SunValley Speedway in Vernon BC and out of Agassiz in Agassiz BC.Here is my 2007 season truck as well,plced 7th overall out of 27 teams in the NASCAR "Welan AllAmerican Series" in BC.

All these trucks are really nice,I saved my 67 steplongbed from a kid that didnt know what was going on so i hope one day(soon!)mine will be nice like all the others on this website

Cool... that was at Houston Motorsports? I've never been to that track... must be a 1/8 mile.

Yep its the 1/8 mile track off of East Mount Houston ,between 59 and 1-10.
For whoever was asking about Chris Shortridge he is from around the Temple area. He built that truck himself, and has run all kinds of small block combos in it. I dont know if he has a web site or not.

Finally figured out how to put this picture on here. Wish i could make it bigger though.

Sorry this is only a link to a pic of my truck but the site is copyright.

http://peterdonaldson5305.fotopic.net/p51723708_v10.html

It ran 11.72@113 that weekend and I drove it home.

Finally figured out how to put this picture on here. Wish i could make it bigger though.

open up a photo bucket account its free and change the size of your pic and then copy your img and post and yeah sharp ride

Here is mine, 66 chevy long fleet. Cast headed 489 with NX Gemini twin shot plate, with pump gas it has gone 11.17 @ 120 and on a 200 shot and a 1.43 60, slighty lighting the tires went 9.97 @ 131. OH and it wieghs 4275 with me, fuel and a 15 pound bottle.

just want to know if anyone offers some nice fiberglass fenders for a 67 . I dont want the whole entire hood grill ,fenderswith the flip up kit. I want to get weight off looking for a stock replacement fender. Has anyone dealt with US body source? Are the hoods any good?
Thanks
Mark

USbodysource.com They have anything and everything you need.

The best one I have of mine. I finally got it on the track. Ran a 13.40 but I forgot to check the throttle adjustment until I got home, I was at less than 3/4 throttle. I'm ready to go again come spring.
