This is the first time she has seen the light of day in six years.

shawno72 · 08-14-2012, 06:48 PM

Nice, why has it been in the shade for so long?

GMR-PERFORMANCE · 08-14-2012, 06:59 PM

what is wrong with you, that screamin yellow zonker should be tearing up the street of where every you live..

scatesracing · 08-14-2012, 07:00 PM

Too many reasons to list... but things are looking up. Time to get the beast back on the road.

kingsolver72 · 08-14-2012, 07:45 PM

If you get the beast on I-35 and head north for about 2.5 hours in the 3rd week in September you'll make the Ottawa car show.

Well with 5.83 gears and 5300 stall I dont see many road trips in her future.

GASoline71 · 08-14-2012, 09:16 PM

sweet truck.now you need a bigger fuel cell.

And I thought I got bad gas mileage.

YBNORML · 08-15-2012, 12:15 AM

I like it!!! What kind of times were you running?

**blazercrazy70** · 08-15-2012, 12:23 AM

Man I thought my 4.56 geared 30" tire wearing 5,400rpm vertered truck was bad.. Looks like others are just as crazy as me. But I do still drive mine on the street. But then again I don't have a 5.83 gear

Were you running 1/8 mile?

scatesracing · 08-15-2012, 04:42 PM

No I was running 1/4 mile. It has a tranny break and i have sprayed it with 200hp but its best pass is footbreak and 150 shot went 12.52 @104. I cant seem to get it down the track when i use the tranny break . i also found a timing problem that really woke the truck up. on one of the passes i launched it, threw it in newtral while on the floor and 200 spray, lifted, put it in high gear, stood on it, hit the juice and ran 13.00 @ 111....so a gear change and a cage are high on the to do list. and learn how to shift the reverse pattern.

**special-K** · 08-16-2012, 06:59 AM

Faster...faster...
I hope to hear results in the future. Nice truck!!

bigguy69 · 08-16-2012, 09:16 AM

chevy72blu · 08-16-2012, 01:35 PM
