Still in about the same condition. You got to Love Paint Shop Prison! I need to get back on the orange one and cleaning out the shop for when it does get done.

16x33x10.5w is the plan but the index class I was wanting to run got changed so I may change tire size and run a different class.

I've had my truck and been working on/changing setups for around 27 years now, it was actually the first vehicle I ever owned straight from a farm auction.

It has been a little crazy around here. I have to get my son's truck back going to make room for mine in the shop. I give the body shop hell on a weekly basis. I went to the track Friday night and it makes me want to get it back going that much more. I will probably $hit my pants the first time I get to drive it again. I haven't been in a fast car or truck in a long time!

Re: Its Mine the World Famous 67 Dragtruck
 
Motor has been done for a really long time. (Probably needs new valve springs) The tranny has been updated and Dyno tuned and I have two new converters for the truck! I have to do some more work on the rear end and spend a ton of money on racepak stuff once it come out of prison!

allways wondered why cars and trucks need to be at the paintshop for so long in the states

over here in europe it usually takes about 3 weeks start to finish

I picked up the Bullet on Sunday night.(picks to Follow) I am getting excited. The body shop wants to replace the rockers and 1 cab corner to make the lines sexy. I will probably pick up some panels at cruisen the coast.

Nope , be a bad deal for that farm truck .

watahyahknow 08-25-2015 11:36 AM

Re: Its Mine the World Famous 67 Dragtruck
 
would be fun to see those two go head to head i think the drag truck launches better and since its lighter with all the poliester parts and the smaller wheelbase it prolly be faster halfway too
i wonder if the farmtruck will overtake near the topend

seen a you tube video a while back about the engine in the farmtruck , they had it on the rollers and told them it was the most powerfull engine they had on there sofar (that means its stronger than the one of the sonoma the crow and the murder nova that tested on the same rollers)

djracer 08-26-2015 08:49 PM

Re: Its Mine the World Famous 67 Dragtruck
 
He has more power but I would love a shot at him!

71Dragtruck 08-26-2015 09:49 PM

Re: Its Mine the World Famous 67 Dragtruck
 
Farm truck didn't lay down the most power ever, what the deal was is it made more power N/A than any other nitrous motor running off the bottle that had been on that dyno. Farm trucks motor doesn't want any of what those twin turbo motors are putting out.

watahyahknow 08-26-2015 10:10 PM

Re: Its Mine the World Famous 67 Dragtruck
 
oh whell farm truck does have nitrous as whell
he prolly couldnt get the power to the ground if he turned it up as mush as the turbocars do

still would be fun to see those two trucks run against eachother
and i guess they would love to do a race too if it is for there street outlaws show

71Dragtruck 08-26-2015 10:50 PM

Re: Its Mine the World Famous 67 Dragtruck
 
Don't get me wrong, I'm a huge farm truck fan and that thing hauls, he's just too damn heavy, I know his pain. I would like to see what times he's running now, I know with his old setup I'm faster and not even running all out ;)

Anyway, glad you're out of the hospital and back at it DJ, can't wait to see it back together, the price of oil and drop in our dollar has killed my plans for this winters changes, had plans on putting mine in the high 8's and running basement 9's on motor for race days :(
