hello from wyo with 56 pickup
Finally found time to register .I live in Wheatland Wyo which is 70 miles north of Cheyenne.I have a 56chevy pickup short box with big back window cab.It set for a long time and I decided to get it going this summer .It now has a narrowed 9 inch with 3.50 gears,chevelle subframe with power steering and discs.The engine is a 6.0 lq9 out of a 2004 escalade with edelbrock headers and flowmaster 40 mufflers.Trans is a 2002 4l80e overdrive with stock converter.It is a blast to drive and cruises at 2200 rpm at about 70mph it is kind of a sleeper as it still needs paint and body work done.You can see it with my oldest daughter driving on youtube at

Re: hello from wyo with 56 pickup
I took it to the track for the very last race in september, it ran a14.65 at 96mph .My 60ft was only 2.29 I definitely need a converter but then would need a locker and gears

Re: hello from wyo with 56 pickup
I only made the first two races this year and then I sold my racing truck. You got some pretty good times for a sleeper. I always found track prep in Douglas sucked, my best 60' was 2.1. I think my friend went to the last race of the season too. He had a black supercharged Ram SRT-10.

Re: hello from wyo with 56 pickup
Welcome to the board. Really nice truck you've got. It's always nice to have another 47-59 guy here. There's a bunch of discussion on the GenIII's in these trucks over at the 47-59 section. Stop on over and let's chat.
