71, I can tell ya what kind of luck I had with the drag radials. I tried a pair of the M/T 295/65 radials and they wouldn't hook for $#!+ ! As a matter of fact, during one launch, it spun the tires so violently that when I hit 2nd, I broke the intermediate sprag in the trans. Up until that point I hadn't had any trouble with the trans. I played with different air pressures and even talked to some buddies that run them on their 5-second 1/8 mi. cars. Some of these guys are runnin' 5.50's in the 1/8 on these things. I'd have been lucky to get in the 6's with them. I ended up going back to the M/T 31 x 14.5 ET Street and back came the consistancy and the hook. Just my experiences, for what it's worth.
BTW, nice pics of the GMC!!

Pretty much what I thought, I never had enough faith in them to buy a pair. The Hoosier Q/T Pro's is what I've run the last 2 years, as you can see they hook, might try some tubes to stiffen the sidewalls, you guy's run tubes in yours?
