Here a couple for now. If we get this going well maybe it can be our first sticky!

71Dragtruck · 02-02-2008, 01:27 PM

An old one of mine.

Super73 · 02-02-2008, 01:38 PM

Super73 · 02-02-2008, 01:44 PM

Super73 · 02-02-2008, 01:58 PM

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.

djracer · 02-02-2008, 02:12 PM

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!

BADGMC · 02-02-2008, 03:01 PM

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

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

drbyrdman · 02-02-2008, 11:04 PM

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.

djracer · 02-02-2008, 11:16 PM

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.

djracer · 02-03-2008, 01:19 AM

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

Super73 · 02-03-2008, 02:00 AM

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.

djracer · 02-03-2008, 04:15 AM

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.

scatesracing · 02-03-2008, 09:09 AM

I like this truck

scatesracing · 02-03-2008, 09:11 AM

I think this is the same truck
