Re: Its Mine the World Famous 67 Dragtruck
 

I am trying to get my truck to the chassis shop for a few minor things before going to the paint shop. Keep your fingers crossed for me.

Re: Its Mine the World Famous 67 Dragtruck
 

Chassis Shop. Paint Shop. Say it ain't so.........I can't wait to see it at the track again. Just got all my front suspension back in mine last night. I have to swap out converters, and finish some rear suspension changes, then off to test!! Paul Baxter

Re: Its Mine the World Famous 67 Dragtruck
 

I figured I would post this over here instead in the tire thread, but your truck is one of the ones I draw inspiration from(no homo). Your pass time run was awesome. There are alot of fast trucks on here and yours got me hooked to really make mine fast(er). That and wanting beat a friend's Malibu, bc he constantly talks $*&^ and i would love to beat him just once!! He is running 11.3 on 100-shot and he has a 150 pill he has yet to try out. His car is sweet as hell though 79 nice 454 w/tremec 5spd and 9". His car is a blast to drive!!

Re: Its Mine the World Famous 67 Dragtruck
 

Sweet. We will have similar combos so we will have to compare notes. I'm just a little scared of the little tire you are gonna run. I know it can be done I'm just not that good on the chassis stuff.

Re: Its Mine the World Famous 67 Dragtruck
 

I don't know much about your combo but pm me what you are running and i'll see if I can help.

Re: Its Mine the World Famous 67 Dragtruck
 

I got the truck back to a rolling state last night and I should get it to the Chassis Shop this weekend. I am gonna pick up my convertor this weekend and I hope to start putting the motor in Cades Truck if all goes well.

Re: Its Mine the World Famous 67 Dragtruck
 

The little tire stuff is what I learned on. I actually have a problem getting too agressive on the big tires with chassis set up, and run the tire over. Then I gotta back off, and lighten the hit a little. The Monte Carlo will go out past 330' still riding the wheelie bars on both systems as it sits now. It happened in Montgomery last year when I screwed up bracket racing. I hope to get it all lined out soon, then maybe we can match race!! Paul

Re: Its Mine the World Famous 67 Dragtruck
 

New Anti Roll Bar!

Re: Its Mine the World Famous 67 Dragtruck
 

Where did you get that one? I was thinking of adding one of the splined ones from S&W

Re: Its Mine the World Famous 67 Dragtruck
 

seem a nice simple one a while back it was just a piece of roundbar in a piece of pipe that had mounting points for the frame
the roundbar has 2 flanges welded on the ends he just mounted another flange to that with bolts that had another piece of roundbar mounted on it sideways

the downmount to the rearaxle could slide over that piece of roundbar before clamping it down wish gave you unlimited options for sensitivity

its verry simple to put together needs verry little room between the chassis and the tire and most of the parts can be bought at a diy store or autostore

Re: Its Mine the World Famous 67 Dragtruck
 

This one came from applied racing or ART. It is there middle one. It is actually pretty simple. You mount the tabs that hold the bearing blocks then slide the round stock in and weld your to it. It should be pretty light and pretty strong. I looked at the S&W piece also but their was more to the install and it was more expensive.

I got a box in today from S&W also. Pics to come a little later.

Re: Its Mine the World Famous 67 Dragtruck
 

Actually I got two boxes from S&W but the main one I wanted was back ordered. Grrrrrr. When I ordered it they didn't say it was back ordered.

Re: Its Mine the World Famous 67 Dragtruck
 

How far Back has the motor been set?

Re: Its Mine the World Famous 67 Dragtruck
 

The firewall is barely notched to clear mid plate.

Re: Its Mine the World Famous 67 Dragtruck
 

WOW!

Just read the entire thread.

And it's great to read over what has happend to your truck over the years. Hoping you get it back running soon and enjoy it as well.

Any closer on getting it running?

Re: Its Mine the World Famous 67 Dragtruck
 

Dang brother that was allot of reading. Its at the chassis shop then I plan to take it to the paint shop. It will probably be a spring debut. I'm trying to get my son's (Djjr) truck running by the end of next month.

Re: Its Mine the World Famous 67 Dragtruck
 

I dropped by the chassis shop and took a few pictures.

Fuel Cell Straps fit like crap. I will have to rebend them or remake them.

Brett Wagner: "whats the parachute mean?"

Contestant: "Means its fast!"

Re: Its Mine the World Famous 67 Dragtruck
 

Anti Roll Bar. I am not real sure about the bars being at an angle but it wouldn't be real hard to change if it causes a problem. The Chassis guy says the are fine.

Re: Its Mine the World Famous 67 Dragtruck
 

I hope its fast!

Re: Its Mine the World Famous 67 Dragtruck
 

well.... it was fast before you did all this. dont see why it wouldnt be fast when you put it back together bigger badder and hornier! haha

ive got faith in you kevin!

Re: Its Mine the World Famous 67 Dragtruck
 

Looking good Kevin!
Keep those updates coming.
Is there plans for the motor to hit the dyno before it goes in?

Re: Its Mine the World Famous 67 Dragtruck
 

ET without Nos is
6.44 1/8 @ 104.13
10.39 1/4 @ 125.83

Nos Times
5.785 1/8 @ 118.65 with a 1.336 60ft
9.168 1/4 @ 142.58 with a 250 shot dead out of the hole!

I was just looking at your times.....Thats moving....what tires are you running for that and what kinda of HP are you making before Nos ?

Re: Its Mine the World Famous 67 Dragtruck
 

I'll dyno it on the track. The motor should make around 900hp and I'm gonna spray the heck out of it.

Re: Its Mine the World Famous 67 Dragtruck
 

Those time were run with a 33 10.5w tire but it was on way too narrow of a wheel. The old motor should have made 700 or so HP. Click the link in my sig to see my fastest pass with the old combo.

Re: Its Mine the World Famous 67 Dragtruck
 

wheres the pro mod wing and and dual shoot launcher and the 80inch wheelie bars at?

haha im kidding but the work is looking great. im sure itll haul some serious ass when its done. (not that it didnt already) but im sure you get my point haha

Re: Its Mine the World Famous 67 Dragtruck
 

You can't sneak up on anyone with all that stuff. That's one reason the chute mount is removable. I may slip it of and put a tag on it and drive it on the street sometimes. It didn't need wheelie bars at all with the old motor so we will have to see if that remains the same. I hate the cars and trucks that look like they should run in the 4's and only run in the sixes in the eighth mile.

Re: Its Mine the World Famous 67 Dragtruck
 

yea i agree, its better to look slower and be faster then to look faster and be slower.

Re: Its Mine the World Famous 67 Dragtruck
 

Looking good Kevin!

How wide of a wheel were you runnin with the 10.5W's?
Posted via Mobile Device

Re: Its Mine the World Famous 67 Dragtruck
 

I was running them on the 10 inch wheels that were on the truck when I got it and now I went up to a 16 inch diameter and to a 14 inch width.

Re: Its Mine the World Famous 67 Dragtruck
 

=================================================
Thanks for the information ....Thats hooking up pretty well and moving...You have done a great job. There aren't many trucks that will run those kinds of times....

Re: Its Mine the World Famous 67 Dragtruck
 

Thanks but the previous owner did most of what was done before. He has actually been a good bit faster than I have. I hope to change that when I get back to the track!

Re: Its Mine the World Famous 67 Dragtruck
 

Sound like a good time to me.
Are you going with a single nozzle kit or 2 / 1 nozzle and 1 plate?
Any way you go its going to wicked evil fast.
I have never ran spray on my hot rods yet. Tuned on a bunch for people. Crazy amounts of MPH and ET gain.
I do like the man sized tire and wheels you have gone with.
So.... I see a doctors visit and some licensing passes in your future for advanced ET????

Re: Its Mine the World Famous 67 Dragtruck
 

I am gonna start with just a fogger. ( I had Monte Smith he is the head tech guy for NOS plumb and tune the fogger) If I need to I will add a plate.

Re: Its Mine the World Famous 67 Dragtruck
 

================================================
I am planning to be able to track my truck a couple of times after i get it together and dialed in...looking forward to it
