Re: Its Mine the World Famous 67 Dragtruck
Monte Smith is a bad, bad man!!
I'm sure it'll be badass... it seems if Monte does anything the car picks up crazy #'s. I'm thinking about going with one of his or Steve Johnsons plate kits. Gotta tune it N/A first. Have you ever sprayed using a tight 8" converter Kevin? If so, how much do you think blows through the converter? Thanks, Shawn |
Re: Its Mine the World Famous 67 Dragtruck
I'm not sure how much an 8 inch could take. I have run 8 inches normally aspirated with a big block but never sprayed a 8 inch convertor. I had a 9 inch in mine last time and I have a 9.5 this time.
How much are planning to spray? |

At the most a 225 shot. Just hoping it'll pick me up quite a bit. Should go 6.9x on motor maybe a little more.
Sorry about hijacking your thread ^^ |
Re: Its Mine the World Famous 67 Dragtruck
Shawn I would think that you would drive through the 8 inch. Call Ptc and ask for Kenny Ford and tell him I told you to call. Give him your info and see what he says.

Re: Its Mine the World Famous 67 Dragtruck
LoL, which PTC? Sorry, i've seen about 5 it seems on YB but they say they're not the same. I'll give him a call though. Sucks cause I just bought the 8" ATI about a month ago.
I was thinking I would probably blow right through it also though, sucks but oh well. |

Re: Its Mine the World Famous 67 Dragtruck
I got the axles cut down tonight. I am crossing my fingers that they fit and I don't have to have the spines cut deeper on the short axle. The long axle almost fit perfect. The pinion was not centered in the old rear end but it is now. We cut about 3/16ths off the long axle and about 2 3/4 inches off the short side axle.

Re: Its Mine the World Famous 67 Dragtruck
definetely steel doors too makes it eazier to roll down windows too , and use some smaller hingebolts you can pull out by hand when you need to switch doors on the track
i seen a trick about that a while back on some 4x4 forum for blazersdrivers that wanted to run without doors in the summer but cant recall wish one it was |
Re: Its Mine the World Famous 67 Dragtruck
It's going to be cool to see your truck back at the track. It's going to look great in black. Paul

I modified a stock set of hinges to make my glass doors removable. I just need to find a decent set of steel doors Cheap! I would like to know the weight difference between Oem and aftermarket doors. |
Re: Its Mine the World Famous 67 Dragtruck
Looking forward to seeing it painted. I've been gone from the site for a long time. Life has finally gotten back to normal and I'm back working on my replacement truck. Glad to see you are getting the old 67 back together.
