Tire shake ??? When during your burn out ??? or in the 60 foot

djracer · 10-12-2007, 07:27 PM

During the 60ft!

I have a set of stiff sidewall micky's to try Sunday I hope!

The hoosier rep told me to delay the nitrous a bit! I have been spraying 250 out of the hole!

that would slow me down if I didn't have more cubes!

57sailplane · 10-30-2007, 10:28 AM

hey djracer.

i was wandering if you could tell me what rear spacing you have between the frame and your axel.

djracer · 10-30-2007, 11:43 AM

I'm not sure what you are asking?

57sailplane · 10-30-2007, 04:10 PM

i now its probably nothing but i am welding the brackets on for my rear coils and was wondering what is the ride height between the top of your rear axel and the bottom of your frame. the distance between the top of the axel and the frame. were the frame rides over the axel. i want to go the minimum i can here and was wandering what you are runing... thanks for all your help. andrew

I think its about 3 or so inches but I have never measured it. I can't wait to get it back running.

djracer · 10-30-2007, 05:07 PM

a small section of the top is left to say it has stock frame rails!

DJ.... also can see how your rear is setup using a "modified" trailing arm type setup.

VERY NICE ..... and from what I have seen of your C10's runs down the 1/4 mile VERY EFFECTIVE.

If you have any more detailed pics I would appreciate seeing them.

I am just starting my plans/project to do a PRO STREET '70 C10 swb Stepside..... any & all suggestions appreciated.

Thanks, John

djracer · 11-04-2007, 10:16 PM

you would have lug pattern isuues for sure and would probably have to have the rearend narrowed and the bed tubbed

drbyrdman · 11-05-2007, 09:46 AM

I fitted them last nite. To wide. My truck is tubbed and has a narrowed 9" under it. 21.5 stick out around 2" to much. Dam it did look good.

djracer · 11-05-2007, 10:02 AM

you may want to dis mount a tire ans see if the wheel fits under the bed you can get a smaller tire! the hoosiers look real good!

Evans · 12-31-2007, 08:00 PM

Kevin , anything new with the truck ???

djracer · 01-03-2008, 06:22 PM

I have been real busy and haven't touched it in a couple monthes but I will before too long.

Couch · 01-30-2008, 03:52 PM

ok. wow. my eyes hurt. i just spent like 2 hours reading this hole topic. great build. love the truck. i have a couple questions for dj racer. do you still have the crank trigger for sell and what kinda tire did you ever decide to stick with? that thing looks wicked tuckin the slicks the way it does

djracer · 01-30-2008, 09:49 PM

Sorry for the long thread! I don't have the crank trigger anymore.

As for tires I want to eventually have two sets of rear wheels. One with 33 x 10.5w and one with 29.5 x 10.5. The main reason for running these sizes is I can buy take off's with 4 to 10 runs for around a hundred dollars a set! I actually want to try some dot tires also. We have some classes in this area that limit you on a slick but will let you run a larger dot tire! I like the Hoosiers a little better than the Micky Thompsons in a slick.

Couch · 01-31-2008, 12:30 AM

werd hoosiers all the way. thats what im running right now.28 x 10s wi8th 4.10's, but im also a sbc. it'll be the first time at the track this weekend if it doesnt rain. i wish we had available takeoffs around here.

djracer · 01-31-2008, 12:54 AM

Good luck at the track. Take offs are cheap but you are a little limited in size choices!

JayG · 02-01-2008, 03:33 AM

Great build thread guys! Started reading it last night, but ran out of time. Finished it at work during lunch today. I greatly admire all you racers for your dedication to your racing. dj and Bigjim as well as the others, AWESOME trucks!!

Here's another good thread we had going before they gave us our own section. And not just saying that because I started it.
