What's the expected ride height, I think that setup would be perfect for my truck.

BlackSheep, you are from Lebanon??? I am from there, or a little west, over by Bolivar. Took my boy's there last summer to the local dirt track there in Lebanon, had a blast there. We race dirt cars out here and they are wanting to take a few weeks next year and travel around and race some of them lil tracks back there. Great stuff. Went to Wheatland when we were there also, WOW is all we could say!!

Small world, I love it here in mid mo. There are defiantly a bunch of dirt tracks around here along with quite a few asphalt tracks. My buddy races b mods and I go over to wheatland and watch him quite a bit. It defiantly deserves it's name as the "diamond of dirt tracks".

Small world. I am from the same area. Little north of Bolivar, from a little town called Humansville. Used to hit up all them dirt tracks back in the day, Wheatland is one of my favorites to go to. I remember when Bolivar Speedway was dirt, now asphalt unfortunately. Still cool to go watch a race when I make it that way. What town you from?

BTW, your truck is coming a long pretty nice.

We are from a little town called Dadeville Mo. Sure miss the day's of stretching a line back there. Came to the Golden State many years ago. Boy's have one more race this year in Vegas in their B Mods. Didn't do too bad this year, of course tore up alot of stuff, but , hey, thats dirt track racing. Thanks for the kudo's on the truck!!

big_al_71 · 07-05-2012, 11:00 AM

Looks very good....Looking forward to the body being on to see the height ride..

68Stepbed · 07-05-2012, 12:20 PM

I wonder if he could mess up on addresses and "mistakingly" ship it to Tennessee.

That looks sweet!!

Jimbabwe · 07-05-2012, 12:24 PM

Looks great! I'd like to know more about that center section.

Nice, very nice. Looks like a high quality job!!

**jocko** · 07-26-2012, 06:17 PM

oh man, that's looking awesome.

I was gonna ask earlier, is the rack & pinion steering setup part of the pb pkg - or did u add it? (I assume it's part of the pkg). Either way - what type of r&p is it? Looks unisteer-ish...

I'd love to do a side by side comparison of just how much better a r&p set up is on the same truck (ok, not really side by side then, but you get my drift).

That is a very nice looking chassis and the truck on it is gonna be sweet.
Paint plans?

dojo · 07-26-2012, 07:04 PM

The r&p is from a 79-93 Mustang as far as paint, we are going with a pearl orangish/tangerinish on bottom and pearl white on top with some sort of colored line in between. Hopin it looks good!!

ChevyGearHeads · 07-26-2012, 07:13 PM

looks nice

gringoloco · 09-04-2012, 09:22 PM

Looks killer! Love the ride height. I wondered what that frame was going under...
