So much has changed since "back in the day" when not only the speeds & low et's of today were unthinkable, the availability of parts "just a far off dream" and not only the strength but also radical combinations of engine, induction & transmissions that can also be run on the "street" is beyond the "best wish" coming true. Is this a dream or what??? Sorry to hear about the engine but if there is any consolation in any of this to be found it appears you not only got your "money's worth" but you also maxed out the "fun meter"..... good luck with the new "build". Gassers on the Street !!!!! |

Speaking of the "FUN METER" even though we are not going down the 1/4 mile anytime soon or doing much actual "building" we are still having fun collecting parts we need for our project .... so DJ, we'll be looking forward to seeing what you are going to offer for sale. |

Re: Its Mine the World Famous 67 Dragtruck
Sorry to hear about the motor.
I was wondering if you could send me a few pictures, or information on the rear suspension set up you have. I know it is trailing arms with coilovers, but how is it all set up? I am looking at buying a truck with leafs, that wont cut it for me, and yours looks to be quite a bit better than stock. PM me, or post it if you get a chance. Thanks, Jared |
Re: Its Mine the World Famous 67 Dragtruck
Its really pretty basic. The truck has stock trailing arms and it uses the longer qa1 coilovers behind the axle with an anti roll bar. It does have a stout 9 inch ford to take the abuse. Most of the pics I have are in this thread but I may have some on my other camera.

As you know.... when you're in the early stage of a build like I am your ALWAYS on the "lookout" for parts or for "better" parts than the ones you have. Not sure what you mean by Did you not see the gasser looking new body truck.... ???? do you mean the "NEW FLEETSIDE VERSION" of the "World famous '67 Drag Truck"????? (NOW....also.... [/U] known as the "Famous Pass Time '67 DragTruck"):metal: BTW.... If all goes as planned I should be taking the cab & bed off my C10 in the next few weeks.... |
Re: Its Mine the World Famous 67 Dragtruck
I posted a new 03 truck that has the gasser look. I do know where some sexy rear fenders are!

The photo used is actually a shot of Tom & his Dad's C10 when DJ bought it from them. It was the only picture I could come up with at the time. My C10 is parked in a way that I could NOT get a good side shot of it so Longhair used DJ's picture. As planned for my C10.... the C10 in the picture has its top chopped (I'm dropping mine 5"...see the black tape line across the windshield in the picture of my C10 which marks the "chop line") ..... The rear suspension is lowered 6" but the front is higher using a "Speedway" straight front axle. Other plans include a narrowed 9" F**d rear axle with "ladder bar" suspension - 18x33 tires on 14" wide Weld wheels. Then to top this "nostaglia gasser " inspired drag C10 will be an "altered wheelbase" ..... the rearend will be moved at least 5" forward but the BED will remain standard length .... only change to the bed will be moving the "rear fenders" forward (look close at the picture) .... also considering an "engine setback". Other "goodies" include a one piece fiberglass front end - push bar type rear bumper - full roll cage - aluminum floor - 383 SBC stroker engine with a CROSS RAM manifold with two Holley 4 barrel carbs sticking up thru the cowl induction hood scoop. Obviously this is "NOT going to be your typical" C10 build." |

say instead of moving the box forward why not move the wheel well opening forward leaving the box and fender the same length to keep in line with the old gasser afect. like so..
