Re: Its Mine the World Famous 67 Dragtruck
Bill I'm glad you got a shot of me running the other 67 pickup! You should have come by my pit we had tons of food and drink! Email me those pics full size if you don't mind. revillot@elmore.rr.com
Big Jim Its a pig on the motor with the big heads! I went 6.40's last year! I am picking up much more with the spray(almost a full second on a 250 shot). I can't wait to try more spray and the short tires! |
Re: Its Mine the World Famous 67 Dragtruck
here's a video of the the race above! fortunately or unfortunately depending on how you look at it the other truck staged and the truck rolled back just enough to redlight! http://s129.photobucket.com/albums/p...cture032-1.flv
Big Jim this turd also has a 4.30 gear with a 33 inch tall tire! |

I almost bought the farm! I went to the track last night and was setup for a 1/4 mile nitrous pass! When I left the starting line the track locator bracket broke off the rearend housing! Thank goodness it did not break at 140 plus! I have a cheesy little video of it but it was dark and far away!
This is what we had to do to get it back to the trailer. You can see the track locator behind the battery! I had an old friend bring his portable welding unit to the track and fix it there! We were back to making passes in about an hour! Special thanks to Mike Honeycutt! |
Re: Its Mine the World Famous 67 Dragtruck
Truck looks great man..... I love how hard that thing leaves..
|
Re: Its Mine the World Famous 67 Dragtruck

Re: Its Mine the World Famous 67 Dragtruck
During the 60ft!
I have a set of stiff sidewall micky's to try Sunday I hope! The hoosier rep told me to delay the nitrous a bit! I have been spraying 250 out of the hole! |
Re: Its Mine the World Famous 67 Dragtruck

Re: Its Mine the World Famous 67 Dragtruck
that would slow me down if I didn't have more cubes!
|
Re: Its Mine the World Famous 67 Dragtruck
hey djracer.
i was wandering if you could tell me what rear spacing you have between the frame and your axel. |
Re: Its Mine the World Famous 67 Dragtruck
I'm not sure what you are asking?
|
Re: Its Mine the World Famous 67 Dragtruck
i now its probably nothing but i am welding the brackets on for my rear coils and was wondering what is the ride height between the top of your rear axel and the bottom of your frame. the distance between the top of the axel and the frame. were the frame rides over the axel. i want to go the minimum i can here and was wandering what you are runing... thanks for all your help. andrew

Wondering if these would fit my truck???
NEW MICKEY THOMPSON TIRES 33/21.5/R15 & 26/8.5/15 - $1500 Brand new never used Mickey Thompson Drag Racing tires and Centerline Wheels. For tubbed out Hot Rod. Front Tires: 26/8.5/15, Rear Tires: 33/21.5/R15. 5" Lug Pattern Sold car never got the chance to use them. Paid $2100.00 |
Re: Its Mine the World Famous 67 Dragtruck
you would have lug pattern isuues for sure and would probably have to have the rearend narrowed and the bed tubbed
|
Re: Its Mine the World Famous 67 Dragtruck
I fitted them last nite. To wide. My truck is tubbed and has a narrowed 9" under it. 21.5 stick out around 2" to much. Dam it did look good.
|
Re: Its Mine the World Famous 67 Dragtruck
you may want to dis mount a tire ans see if the wheel fits under the bed you can get a smaller tire! the hoosiers look real good!
|
Re: Its Mine the World Famous 67 Dragtruck
Kevin , anything new with the truck ???
|
Re: Its Mine the World Famous 67 Dragtruck
I have been real busy and haven't touched it in a couple monthes but I will before too long.
|
Re: Its Mine the World Famous 67 Dragtruck
ok. wow. my eyes hurt. i just spent like 2 hours reading this hole topic. great build. love the truck. i have a couple questions for dj racer. do you still have the crank trigger for sell and what kinda tire did you ever decide to stick with? that thing looks wicked tuckin the slicks the way it does
|
Re: Its Mine the World Famous 67 Dragtruck
Sorry for the long thread! I don't have the crank trigger anymore.
As for tires I want to eventually have two sets of rear wheels. One with 33 x 10.5w and one with 29.5 x 10.5. The main reason for running these sizes is I can buy take off's with 4 to 10 runs for around a hundred dollars a set! I actually want to try some dot tires also. We have some classes in this area that limit you on a slick but will let you run a larger dot tire! I like the Hoosiers a little better than the Micky Thompsons in a slick. |
Re: Its Mine the World Famous 67 Dragtruck
werd hoosiers all the way. thats what im running right now.28 x 10s wi8th 4.10's, but im also a sbc. it'll be the first time at the track this weekend if it doesnt rain. i wish we had available takeoffs around here.
|
Re: Its Mine the World Famous 67 Dragtruck
Good luck at the track. Take offs are cheap but you are a little limited in size choices!
|
Re: Its Mine the World Famous 67 Dragtruck
Great build thread guys! Started reading it last night, but ran out of time. Finished it at work during lunch today. I greatly admire all you racers for your dedication to your racing. dj and Bigjim as well as the others, AWESOME trucks!!:metal:

Re: Its Mine the World Famous 67 Dragtruck

Re: Its Mine the World Famous 67 Dragtruck
We got the truck back in the shop! A few updates start tomorrow!
|
Re: Its Mine the World Famous 67 Dragtruck
Nice truck DJ .......So how fast has it gone ? I thought I saw in the thread it has run faster than what you have in your sig .

That's it so far but I haven't made a full quarter mile pass with the spray. Most racing around here is 1/8th mile! I mostly run the 6.00 class. Last year at super chevy I time trialed with the dot cars and forgot to put enough time in the timer.(the time in my sig with 6 seconds of spray) The next time I tried for a full quarter mile shot the track locater broke at the hit of the transbrake. I lifted and didn't hurt anything. I had a friend come weld it back on at the track but on test and tune night the track goes to crap from the street cars the later the night gets. The truck has gone 5.32 in the eighth when the previous owner had the truck with 512ci and 2 stages of nitrous. I wanted to try to get in the 8's last year but never got to make it happen. I have a fogger and I would like to try the 468 with two stages since I can't afford what I really want which is a 565! I really like your truck and have tried to get up with you in the past. I wonder how fast my truck would be with your motor! I'm at 3200 pounds with me in it! I'm gonna try to pick it up some this year. I think one of the first thinks I'll do is plumb the fogger and send my carb to patrick at pro systems! I also never really had the right tire for the gear. I have been running 33x10.5w's and I tried some 29.5 true 10.5's and went almost as fast but had tire shake! I'd love to see your truck in action! If you come east to race let me know! You should do a write up on your truck in the racing section. I think you have the fastest truck on the board(for now);) |
Re: Its Mine the World Famous 67 Dragtruck
Thanks DJ . I dont get east much more than Memphis . We did go to Reynolds Ga last Oct . Oh your truck would friggin fly with my motor in it . Im sure it would go 8.50's

Re: Its Mine the World Famous 67 Dragtruck
