80's nascar truck???
 

I was thinking about turning my lwb into one of these and havent seen anyone do this yet on here at least. I was wondering if anyone has any pics of these old nascar trucks or see this been done before? Opinions wanted

Yes, kinda of what im thinking, but not so much a desert speed truck. Im trying to find something that has the spoiler that is above where the tailgate is and where the roll bar goes down threw the tonneau cover to.
I guess you can say these are the blueprints. lol

Were they all short beds?

Re: 80's nascar truck???
 

I would Imagine they were but it could be made to look right with a long bed I think
look at the first one in this pic

Re: 80's nascar truck???
 

That's awesome. I love the stance and the look. Would be sweet to build a streetable version of one those.

Re: 80's nascar truck???
 

This has been one of the ideas floating around inside my head for my truck as well. I can't decide between this look with Aero or Basset 15x10's or keeping the fishin/farm truck look and throwing some classic look 5 spoke 20's on it.

Re: 80's nascar truck???
 

Neat idea, been done with many cars, why not a truck?

Have to go with the 15" wheel though to pull the look off 100%. Per Nascar rules you won't see 20" wheels on any of the series, so installing them on a clone would just confuse the idea you are after. Go for the look, go all the way ;)

Re: 80's nascar truck???
 

LOL I had the idea for quite sometime. Does the roll bar that comes out the back to the bed go threw the back window of the cab? Im thinking 15's with the actual nascar tires. I know they used slicks and in most areas these are illegal for street use but I have found a local company here in OK that buys and sells them and will actually slot the tread for and additional price and say that are still safe to use and are legal then.

I used to have some GTS headlight covers for my 85 like the ones in the photo. Kind of reminds me of the nascar look with them on there. I used to have an old polaroid photo with them on my truck but I think it is long gone by now.

Re: 80's nascar truck???
 

Does anyone have any more pics of these?

Re: 80's nascar truck???
 

Are you talking about the nascar trucks or pics of our trucks with the headlight covers on them. I tried to google for pics with headlight covers but haven't found any yet.

Re: 80's nascar truck???
 

The nascar trucks. I think if we could find some more pics of these then they should have the headlight covers on them.

Re: 80's nascar truck???
 

I love this article where it talks about Richard Childress, Manager and crew chief of the Piedmont Airlines Winston Cup team with driver Ricky Rudd and how they just got their first win at Riverside Raceway the same weekend as this truck race.
I was at that race (Riverside Western 500) in 1983
How things change...and stay the same..
Crazy.

Re: 80's nascar truck???
 

That would have been awesome to have gone to. Do you have any pics of this day?
