Just waiting on parts and the time to get this metamorphosis under way. Have been procrastinating on what to do about trans,,, If I change to a glide it adds a LOT of expense. I don't know if the Hughes TH350 is going to like what I'm doing,, and I have a pro-tree Hughes TH400 w/ shields all ready,, but will have to change driveshafts, and to use air will have to change shifters,,, bla bla,, every little detail justs keeps adding more and more $'s. Goal is to have it all ready before it get's hot so I don't have to wear a stinking firesuit to race this summer!!!

nice!! thats what i have on my 72 mt's though......thinking about some et streets i have a tire fire way to easy :smoke:

Re: Pro Street Trucks/Cars pics!!! im in love with the fatty tires!!
 

How are they for traction?

Re: Pro Street Trucks/Cars pics!!! im in love with the fatty tires!!
 

i have yet to find traction lol even at a rolling start (stock suspension)

Re: Pro Street Trucks/Cars pics!!! im in love with the fatty tires!!
 

Stock suspension can be made to work.. There are several trucks here doing it pretty well.. The truck in my avtar pic is mine with stock suspension (minus springs and shocks)..

Re: Pro Street Trucks/Cars pics!!! im in love with the fatty tires!!
 

Is that race only or do you take it out on the street? Methanol?

Re: Pro Street Trucks/Cars pics!!! im in love with the fatty tires!!
 

its street only im running a 1050 dominator on e-85. $2.04 a gallon is awsome compared to race gas prices. even though it gets about 3 miles a gallon.

Re: Pro Street Trucks/Cars pics!!! im in love with the fatty tires!!
 

My daily street only pump gas '75.

Marv is that the Holley pro Dominator? I Just picked one up for my 406. They must work well if you are running one.

Re: Pro Street Trucks/Cars pics!!! im in love with the fatty tires!!

Re: Pro Street Trucks/Cars pics!!! im in love with the fatty tires!!
 

Marv D,

Do you have any more pictures of your Engine Bay?
I wanna see your Inner Fender Wells...
I have to do some Fabbing when I take the Engine out.
Did you buy or make yours?

Thanks,

Not really any good ones. This one from when it was a bottle baby, but it's not a great picture

I made them. There nothing but .065 aluminum I bought at a scrap place, Kept dinking with a template till I had it close, then went to a buddy's shop and borrowed his manual brake. Took them out back and sanded them in one direction with 600 grit sandpaper, then lightly with 1000, and shot them with clear. Over the years the poor ol truck has seen so many changes and reconfigurations that there pretty full of holes for mounting ignitions, fuel regulators and what not. I'll get some pictures when I pull the motor it will be a little clearer. But have to trim and fit the motor plate before I pull it, loose the side mounts, etc. Going to have to build my own headers it looks like. So this is going to be a slooooowwww build., to go no quicker than 11.5000001 :)


Hottrucks,, those look to be MT Sportsmans. There a pretty stiff sidewall and depending oh how much the rear weight, 16-20 # might work. The hard compound is good for wear, but gave the WORST traction I ever saw in my truck. I went to a Hoosier Quick time 33x22.50-15 and picked up almost a 1/2 a second to the 60' cone over the Sportsman, ,,, same size and dropped psi to 12 at the track. Then moving to a Hoosier DOT QT Pro gave the best I've seen so far and I run 10.25# in them. All I can suggest is start HIGH and work down. Too low of a psi will cause the center of the tire to 'cup' and hurts traction, not help.

good eye Marv and thanx for the tip..my truck won'y run with you guys more of a DD with attitude....I'm hoping to build a 350/350 and give it a little blue bottle..should be fun to drive to the grocery store or get bark mulch

Re: Pro Street Trucks/Cars pics!!! im in love with the fatty tires!!
 

Here are a few pics of my project.

Re: Pro Street Trucks/Cars pics!!! im in love with the fatty tires!!
 

nice build...I see the panard bar is very short though and the wheels are close??

Re: Pro Street Trucks/Cars pics!!! im in love with the fatty tires!!
 

hey guys I was out working on E brake cable stuff (I need it for inspection) what are you guys doing to get around the large amout of back spacing on the wheels??

I'm thinking of moving the clip that holds the cable on the trailing arm to the frame or futher back on the arm making the cable dive into the trailing arm sooner??

my ride

Re: Pro Street Trucks/Cars pics!!! im in love with the fatty tires!!
 

When you are trying to fit 18.5 to 21" wide tire in the back..... I have only 3.5" of backspacing on my wheels. 1.5" clearance on the frame rails and 1" clearance on the outer fender lip. I cant stand the little tire in the HUGE wheel well look!

My axles from Strange are only 28 inchs long each.

Re: Pro Street Trucks/Cars pics!!! im in love with the fatty tires!!
 

I was running a stock pbar and the swing was enough to piss me off my new bar goes from the PS outside fram to the outside of the trailiing arm..its like 42" long....My wheels are stock rallies that I had 6" added to the back space with stock front space....I'm waiting for them.... as soon as I get them painted and mount the tires so I can see if this is all going to work....I'm worried about tire hitting inner bed at dump?? my axles are stock..and open...booooo!!

Re: Pro Street Trucks/Cars pics!!! im in love with the fatty tires!!
 

I might put a jack on the frame behind the fuel cell, pull the springs out. Put the truck at ride height, then lower it a few inches with the jack and see how close those tires come to the frame rail. I'd be concerned the when the PH bar is level, you might be touching tire to frame.

You might have already checked the geometry, but if not, better to find out now..

Re: Pro Street Trucks/Cars pics!!! im in love with the fatty tires!!
 

Truck has already been down the road for awhile. I have had the truck down even lower than it is now. I settled on this ride height because of the nice rake it has with the body lines. I do appreciate the concern.;)

Re: Pro Street Trucks/Cars pics!!! im in love with the fatty tires!!
 

hey can anyone tell me how much they tubbed theres I have my bed apart for the fit but I'm looking at where my wheel well will be best I can figure I need about 41" that will put me even with the frame rails..I'm also conserned about the inner skin where it welds to the outside skin...am I going to have issues there??

what kind of blower is on that camaro?

Re: Pro Street Trucks/Cars pics!!! im in love with the fatty tires!!
 

They said it came of a Freight Train.

Re: Pro Street Trucks/Cars pics!!! im in love with the fatty tires!!
 

I need to start a build thread but this truck has been torn down and changed too much, so I'll just post pics where I can.

Re: Pro Street Trucks/Cars pics!!! im in love with the fatty tires!!
 

whats the widest wheel and tire you can fit under a stock 72 c10 half ton. Well of course lowered bout 4 to 5 inches. Backspacing specs and all on the wheels

Re: Pro Street Trucks/Cars pics!!! im in love with the fatty tires!!
 

I'm having 5" of backspaceing added to a stock rally wheel ..My plan is to just tub it and relocate the E brake cable...one thing I did do is relocate my panard bar from stock to from the back of the trailing arm to the oposite side outside frame ( 42" ) I have amost no side travel with 1" blocks and bags in the stock spring location and a C notch...my wheels "should" be here at teh end of the week
