So looking forward to it dude....

I have already started practicing my merican......lol...Don't worry i will toss a few eh's in for effect. Dude you planning on a SEMA vegas apperance? Thinking i will ship the street truck to vegas do SEMA...then put it in storage down there in vegas....fly back for november ...and drive it down from vegas.

The pro will be ready to but i don't think it would do a run like that with out a tanker truck of fuel for support.

Re: 1966 SBBW pro street
 

I may just have to try to plan a trip to Az this fall to go to the GG's show and meet you. Unless you bring the hauler by. :lol:

Re: 1966 SBBW pro street

Re: 1966 SBBW pro street
 

Dude....think about it...

Ya get to meet Dino... ya get to see tons of chevy trucks......and uhm....phoenix is warm and sunny in november....not like where you and i live...lol....perfect beer weather .

Re: 1966 SBBW pro street
 

Sweet dude thanks....that would be awesome....
My buddy is down in vegas now and i told him to keep his eyes open for a place to store it that would be all good.

Re: 1966 SBBW pro street
 

Worked on the dualy last couple of days......getting it all ready for towing season.....

Re: 1966 SBBW pro street
 

Well got it running great....
Did some test and tune yesturday....The 454 is wicked...Spins'em right out of the hole and grabs a really nice second gear out of the automatic when it shifts.....

Managed to get pulled over already....turns out the cop was a fan of dually's and wanted to check it out...no ticket....wow....but everyone i knew that drove by was calling my cell phone while the cop was checking it out...lol...friends huh ..

Re: 1966 SBBW pro street
 

man duude that is a clean a$$ dually .what size wheels 19teens? congrats bro

Re: 1966 SBBW pro street
 

OK, I have a question.
This is just a question not... slamming your ride or anything.. but..
How can you tow anything with your truck set up like that?
My truck is not as low as that and I am constantly having issues with the trailers nose being too low on mine.
So, what can you tow with that and how. Seriously, I would like to know so I can try the same thing.

Re: 1966 SBBW pro street
 

Dude....

It lays rubber out of the hole.....and uhm ....it get's second gear rubber..

Re: 1966 SBBW pro street
 

Well there is a couple of things ...

1) I can air up the system to raise it up....those pictures have the frame actually on the ground it wouldn't move like that...lol

2) A raised reversed hitch that you can raise your hitch up on

3) The tounge/hitch on my trailer is not welded in place ... it's bolted into a channel and can be raised or lowered on the trailer.....there is probaly 10" of adjustment on my trailer hitch alone...

4)...On my avalanche ( wich is lowered with 20's ) it worked out that i just took the slide out turned it upside down and put the ball on the top. That adjustment raised the ball just over 2" and was perfect.

But i understand what your talking about... the trailer tounge has to be nearly perfect or it tows like a hunk of junk and is all over the road...I learned that lesson years ago and always take the time to find the sweet spot before towing.

Re: 1966 SBBW pro street
 

I flipped my receiver and got about 3-4" higher but the bee-otch is when I am sent to pick up a trailer while working and the dang thing is way the flip up in the air...
My own trailer is fine but my truck is a work truck and there are too many times I just can't or won't pull a trailer that won't pull safe... LOL
Know what I mean ???

Re: 1966 SBBW pro street
 

Oh I hear that
Buy one of those hitches that are adjustible....I have 1...and am going to upgrade to one of the fancy ones that lock together like a gear set

Re: 1966 SBBW pro street
 

It needs a bit of work yet....but it's getting there ..A few things that I want to change up....you know how it goes...lol

It's running 225/70R 16's right now and it lay's frame with those on....Nothing like those monsters you want to run on yours....lol

Re: 1966 SBBW pro street
 

Haven't seen one of those.... or the gear type.

Re: 1966 SBBW pro street
 

That truck is bad azz man! Congrats!

Re: 1966 SBBW pro street
 

Sweet dually, any pics of the Avalanche?

Re: 1966 SBBW pro street
 

At least f**d is good for something.lol

Re: 1966 SBBW pro street
 

Have been working like a mad man on everything.....till 11 pm or midnight everynight....I am burnt the heck out. But the parts for the 58 should be here late today....and it's stripped and lifted and ready to go . If things go well it's going to the cruize on fathers day...

Re: 1966 SBBW pro street
 

Ordered a tank chassis to put under the body....I figured everything else I have is low sooooooooo....

Looking at it in the air like that really made me think about making it into a 4x4 ...but ....naaaaaaaaaaa

Re: 1966 SBBW pro street
 

I will have to find some....it's my daily driver...it's been lowered and program'd with 20's....and frankly it's my favorite thing to drive. It's hard not to like things that work ad you don't have to wrench on it all the time. Thats why I got a dually.....keep the avalache nice and clean.

Re: 1966 SBBW pro street
 

the 58 looks good! so what are you going to do once you get all your trucks done?? buy and sell some more!!

Re: 1966 SBBW pro street
 

Thanks, I've been looking at Av's for a while, cool features. My old DD is getting long in the tooth, I thought 4x4 but the lowered 2wd look very sweet. Looking forward to the'58...well all your builds. Looks like a lot of fun, a good tired.

Re: 1966 SBBW pro street
 

Thanks...thats awsome....

I can't recommend a AV enough....I thought I would like it but wasn't sure....it's awesome it's waybetter then I thought it was going to be..

Re: 1966 SBBW pro street
 

Well a truck load of new parts came in for the 58 today....I called in the big guns and all my favours.....and tomorrow it's going down.....full speed the fastest build i have ever done....
