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

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 .

Re: Its Mine the World Famous 67 Dragtruck
 

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
 

For those who follow this thread. I ran my best pass ever and it was filmed for the speed channel tv show Pass Time! Times are updated in my sig. The show should air in late June!

Re: Its Mine the World Famous 67 Dragtruck
 

wow. thats bookin it. i'll be sure to record that episode

Re: Its Mine the World Famous 67 Dragtruck
 

Looks good love the truck!!:metal: Are you putting any paint on it?

Re: Its Mine the World Famous 67 Dragtruck
 

I'll paint it one of these days! When it runs as fast as I want it to!

Re: Its Mine the World Famous 67 Dragtruck
 

I guess she'll be in primer for ever then hey Kevin?;) Can't imagine anyone going as fast as they want to go!:lol:

Re: Its Mine the World Famous 67 Dragtruck
 

When I get faster than Tom went in the truck I might paint it! I really want a 565 but I can't give my 468 away! I might atleast paint the front like the bed is painted!
