You can rest assured that I will post some videos of some serious rolling bun outs. Definetly picts are a must.

That's true Rob great minds think alike.... What tires and what size are the ones mounted on those rallies. I definetly want something that sticks as I am going to do a few passes at the little 1/8th mile track near my house.

, They are Mickey Thompson's ET Street radials, 315 60 15, mounted on an 8" rim. Even with these on, my 68 still won't hook up with the 3.08 gears. I've got a 3.73 rear with a new Auburn posi in it that I'll be putting in in the next week or so. Hopefully that will do the trick,

Uhmmm.... Increasing the ratio is only going to make that issue worse although spinning both tires will make a difference for sure. Sounds like some suspension tuning is in order.

Well lately there has been alot of talk about frenching in the side markers and how they look like goldfish eyes sticking off the sides. I went and found some van markers off one of the clunkers i shipped to the crusher, I had my detail department sand them down and polish the heck out of them I must say they came out pretty good. I have seen other members put them on and never thought much of the look but after all the polishing I said well let me put them on and I kind of like how they sit almost flush to the body..

my67chevytruck · 09-30-2009, 09:47 AM

big_al_71 · 10-04-2009, 06:24 PM

They came off a 90 chevy van (Clunker) at my dealer. I also got a really nice steering wheel of a 91 chevy 1500 from another clunker which I might put on my truck in the future just for craps and giggles...the rpms in my truck are a bit higher like 2200 @60mph give or take with a turbo 350..I have never had good luck with 700r4 ever....

big_al_71 · 10-07-2009, 03:48 PM

I got a set of rally wheels that I am going to put on my truck for craps and giggles. I posted a want to trade ad so that I can trade two van rallies for two truck reallies as I want to have the staggered look with the rallies as well. I am not putting them on permanently just so that I have the option of swapping wheels anytime I feel like a different look...

Haha, I wish I could get bored easily and go get some new wheels and tires! I'm running on tires that are too small and wheels that I bought with my income tax return (which wasn't that much). I can't wait to see the new look on the truck!
