Welcome to the site. There's a serious shortage of drag trucks here. Nice to have another addition.

I think I need to find a therapist, seeing a nice truck sitting there in a scrap yard with still so many parts that someone could use but can`t get to it or can`t afford them. Breaks my heart!

Paint was alittle ruff.

spudtruck · 10-27-2010, 10:05 PM

daverod,
Where did you see it? I remember that truck when I was just a youngster. It went through 5 Chevy dealers while in Rigby. I think the paint job got hammered when the Rigby Chevrolet caught fire a few years ago.

daverod · 10-28-2010, 02:43 PM

At the Old Iron car show in Rigby.

front part of the roof..........any pics,just like to know how it looks,

Here you go slooter, i think this is the one your talking about aerotruck, really cool car but its really beat and looks like crap.. the roof line looks weird on here, but i think if done correctly it wouldnt look "bad"...
However i do agree that it goes against the natural body lines, i really like the way the roof makes a sort of visor

First off let me say everytime I see your truck avatar it takes me ten minutes to get the smile off my face.

Arguably, the most distinctive design feature of our 60-66 trucks is the "duck bill sunvisor and spoiler" on the roof.

Nobody would argue though that it isn't a huge air brake and I have thought about how we can do better. Rather than remove the sunvisor fabricate multiple rectangular tubes that allow the air to go through the visor and out the top. I am sure you have seen bolt on visors for modern trucks, they allow the air to flow through. Same concept but do so such that you keep the original styling, but make it more aero correct.

Keep the form, improve the function, the Hot Rodders credo.

This would be easier to implement too as it retains the roof and windshield profiles, IMHO.

What do ya think?

Do it... you know you want to!

I agree the Design is distinctive and adds to the truck...........Not something that I would do.........I wondered if anybody had done this.
Thanks for the good words on my truck..........Losts of people come up to me at the drag strip and ask why..........All I say is because I can.
After winning a round I have people litererly hanging over the fence giving me thumbs up......

thats a good feeling.

They may be able to do that in the Photoshop section?? Just a possible idea!

realnice1s · 10-30-2010, 08:22 PM

NICE!!! I want it!!! These trucks are sooo cool. Where could a guy find one?

Rich 5150 69 · 10-30-2010, 08:43 PM

Ebay / Craigslist / Old Ride,,,so on

Mr Pops · 10-30-2010, 10:01 PM

Here's the 66 GMC 910 I bought when I was 16. It had a 283 and a 3 on the tree. It was my first insured vehicle and I drove it year round for about two years. Don't know why I rattle canned it, I guess green isn't cool when you're 16.. I really like the original color now though.

Mr Pops · 10-30-2010, 10:04 PM

Here's some shots from a road trip with a few buddies when I was 18

Mr Pops · 10-30-2010, 10:05 PM

And a few more..

geezer#99 · 10-31-2010, 12:01 AM

Mr POPS. I recognize the shots from the badlands around Drumheller but not sure about the ferry crossing. Was it at Wayne or Finnegan's Ferry. Long time ago for me. Over 50 years ago. LOL!! Nice shots.

That was around 1999 I believe, and yes, the ferry was also in the Drumheller area, but I'm not sure which one it was.

**aerotruk63** · 10-31-2010, 06:09 PM
