Kevin, It weighs 3200lb...and I don't know how to make any lighter...except a glass cab and doors.
The bedsides weigh about 35lbs each..the fenders weigh 20lbs each..hood weighs 35lbs. I put a lexan windsheid in...not much weight savings there.
The doors are real heavy...guess I'll get the plasma cutter out...lol

I have 36" long double adjustable ladder bars.
I ran 4 9.93's in a row on friday night. That was spinning bad in 1st gear...but atleast it spins consistantly...lol

Jim
Is that 3200 going down the track? I haven't weighed mine this year but I have some stuff to add to it anyway. I hope to be between 3000 and 3100 going down the track when its all together!

Re: Its Mine the World Famous 67 Dragtruck
 

Jim is that 9.93 on the motor or the spray?

Re: Its Mine the World Famous 67 Dragtruck
 

I don't have spray..I just sold all my N20 junk..cause I was tempted to use it...lol
No it's 3470 going down the track...

Re: Its Mine the World Famous 67 Dragtruck
 

D@mn I thought mine was heavy last year at 3300 going down the track!

Re: Its Mine the World Famous 67 Dragtruck

Re: Its Mine the World Famous 67 Dragtruck

Re: Its Mine the World Famous 67 Dragtruck

Re: Its Mine the World Famous 67 Dragtruck
 

Well mine weighs about 4298 going down the track, think if i take the ashtray out that will help any?:rolleyes:

Re: Its Mine the World Famous 67 Dragtruck
 

D@mn 71 did you take anything off that pig?

Re: Its Mine the World Famous 67 Dragtruck
 

As much as I'm prepared at this time I guess. It has all the stock steel and chrome trim, the roll bar didn't help thats for sure! Plus full exhaust power steering the ususal culprets. Oh well i get a good reaction from people when i tell them what it weighs and then what it runs.;)

Re: Its Mine the World Famous 67 Dragtruck

I am trying another camshaft as we speak!


Big Jim do you have a cargo mate plant anywhere near you? I might be able to get you a super sweet deal on a new one!

Re: Its Mine the World Famous 67 Dragtruck
 

Awesome truck! I own the younger baby brother of what yours used to look like. Mine has come a long ways but the project is on hold for more important things. Anyway...it has a mild 383 and ran 12.6@108 with a few problems. I'll let the pics explain the rest.
