Pictures of roll cages
I plan to turn my 85 into a street strip machine and I want a good roll cage to help with traction. I would like to see how your cage is built and where it passes through the back and how it looks in the cab please. Appreciate it!!

Re: Pictures of roll cages
In a full frame truck like like yours I don't think a cage will help traction but it will save you in a crash. What kind of suspension mods have you made?

Re: Pictures of roll cages
My plans are in the early planning stage. What I was thinkin is trailing arm rear suspension. I don't think I want a full back half with super fat tires. What would you suggest for a street/strip truck with more focus towards the strip for suspension?

Re: Pictures of roll cages
I'm betting it's a link to some caltracs. I got a set on my truck and I think they work good.
