Nice! That truck flat gets it done. Have you run it on motor in the 1/4?? If so how did it do?? What was the 1/8 to 1/4 mph??? Thanks!

Thanks! No I've never ran the 1/4. It's 120 miles to the closest 1/4 mile track. Should run high 12's on motor.

Do you know what kind of power you're making? How much spray to run the 7.18?

No I don't. I've never had it on a dyno. I have the 200hp jets in the plate, but it's the small solenoid NX Hitman kit so it's probably not 200hp. It would probably run a little better with a NX Gemini Twin kit.

383, you've got some great videos. i wish my '72 would run like that. what have you done as far as suspension? it looks like it hooks pretty well.

Nothing, stock trailing arms. It's lowered about 4 inch's. I'm running 28x10.5 ET Drag slicks.

1.56 60' That's pretty impressive for a 28x10.5 in a heavy truck.

Eibach 4" drop spings with doetsch shocks in the rear. In the front, 2.5" drop spindles and a coil cut off the stock springs with gabriel shocks.

impressive for what you got in it. i might have to duplicate your setup. how did the pinion angle act when you dropped it 4" out back? it's got a nice stance.

It went from 2* down to 0*, so I put 4* shims between the trailing arms and rearend. Seems to work fine.
