you can hit Go advanced on the bottom of the post box and upload pics but they need to be kinda small. I use 640x480. Or you can post them on photo bucket and put the link that starts with img in the body of a regular message and they will show up!

I'm pretty sure you're saying what I'm going to do in a "different way"..... the bed is NOT going to move or be changed at all ..... the rearend housing will be moved forward (5" or so) and then the fenders (wheelwell opening) centered over the wheels/tires.

try editing your post and add [IMG] to the front of each link.

What I have been doing to add pictures is to page/arrow down to the bottom of the page into the " Additional Options" section.... then click on "manage files" which will bring up a window which will allow you to add pictures from your computer's picture files.... works for me.... easy to do.

the rearfenders should modify eazely just cut a rectangle out of each one with 5 inch offset to the front when measured from the centre of the wheel in its stock position and weld the leftside piece in the rightside fender and vice versa if you make the pieces exactly the same there should be hardly any hamering involved

that works too but you have to have the pictures resized. and you are limited to 5 pics per post that way!

I usually take all my pictures for use on the internet/computer (low pizels) so that way works for me.

I did NOT know about the "5 pic" limit..... plus I usually don't post that many at a time.... at least not until I start my "BUILD THREAD".... if that ever happens....HA!!!!

Re: Its Mine the World Famous 67 Dragtruck

Re: Its Mine the World Famous 67 Dragtruck

Re: Its Mine the World Famous 67 Dragtruck
 
damn lol so do u think my stock rear end with a lil beafin up would hold up if i put sum coil overs under it? i thnk it should be alright?

Re: Its Mine the World Famous 67 Dragtruck
 
go with a ford 9 inch it makes things a lot eazier in the long run

djracer 10-02-2008 03:11 PM

Re: Its Mine the World Famous 67 Dragtruck
 
I'd say it depends on how fast you want to go. If you want to go sub 13's a 9inch is much better.

drag_72 10-03-2008 10:47 AM

Re: Its Mine the World Famous 67 Dragtruck
 
ya i agree with both of you. how much u think i could pick a 9 in. up for?

watahyahknow 10-03-2008 12:42 PM

Re: Its Mine the World Famous 67 Dragtruck
 
DJ do you know ?........over here about 150 euro (the netherlands ) in running order

i would absolutely go for a 9 inch , there not only stronger but its eazier to change the ratio too you can set the centersection up out side the axle and keep it for when you need it , if you have a second center section and the C clip eliminator thingy you can go from a streetfriendly detroit locker with highway gear to a balls out spoolsetup with 4.10's in about half an hour
