Re: Ok Boys and Girls it's Storytime
Blue always knew he had a brother out there somewhere. After an exhausting search that has lasted for years I made arrangements to unite them. I went to Lindsay, Oklahoma May 1st to pick him up.

Re: Ok Boys and Girls it's Storytime
It's a 69 350 4 speed with a 2 speed rear. It cranks and runs but has a knock in it. The 2 speed works smoother than any one I ever driven. It has 24,000 on the odometer. There is no way it's 124,000. It has one small dent in the back of the drivers step and a golf ball size ding on the right corner of the hood. The bad news is it must have went a long time with a leak under the cowl. It has kick panel, floor and firewall cancer. It's nothing that can't be fixed. It's fun to drive around on the property but has no brakes at all. I felt like I was 13 years old again when I sat in the seat. I used to pull this old cattle trailer with a GMC that was almost identical to this truck. The trailer is a yard ornament now.

Re: Ok Boys and Girls it's Storytime
I worked out a day off yesterday. I had things to do around the house and I need to get ready for next weeks race at the Tx Motorplex. I took the time to get the wood sides off the White Truck. Then I cleaned the windows. I finally got the Blue Truck out of trailer. It was time for a photoshoot.

Re: Ok Boys and Girls it's Storytime
I called Ricard Freeman of Elite Motorsports. His Granddad had car dealership and his Dad worked for him chances are Royce Freeman Sr sold this truck. So that means it was originally sold by another Drag Racer.

Re: Ok Boys and Girls it's Storytime
I don't have a real plan but I have a vision. Not slammed but lower for sure. Not some dumb oversized pickup. But a functional hauler with Cummins power. And some good looking wheels for sure.

Re: Ok Boys and Girls it's Storytime
Well it's race week again. I'll be at the Texas Motorplex Wednesday through Sunday. Test and Tune Wednesday. Two hits and first round of the first race Thursday. It's a Double Divisional. If anybody comes out I hope to be close to the fuel station.

Re: Ok Boys and Girls it's Storytime
Well the Double Divisional went pretty good. I was hitting the tree pretty good. My last three runs were .007 .010 and .008. I went out third round of the first race. I was .007 on the tree and screwed it up by giving up the stripe by .007. I had to run my pit mate second round and I was .008 on the tree but spun after the hit and couldn't catch him. When I ran first round of the first race the truck fell off before the 1000ft. It was making a weird sound so I killed it return road. We towed it back and I checked the valves and springs and nothing was wrong. I fired it back up and Ken motioned for me to kill it. I couldn't see this mess because it was covered up by another tube.

Re: Ok Boys and Girls it's Storytime
We had plenty of time and somebody patched it up for me. I'm not putting any names out there. But a trash can was involved. It got me through the weekend.

Re: Ok Boys and Girls it's Storytime
I took the header off yesterday. All it's going to take is replacing half of the tubes on 1,3,5 and 2,4,and 6. We'll do 2,4 and 6 before my race in Tulsa. Then do 1,3 and 5 when I get back. Hopefully I have time to get the passenger side to the coater and back so I don't have to pull it again. The pic I posted was before I beat the hell out of it so it would fit. It looks pretty rough now.

Re: Ok Boys and Girls it's Storytime
If you look closely below the blue paint you can see where it blew the black coating off the firewall lol.

Re: Ok Boys and Girls it's Storytime
Well Tony got the three tubes on my header fixed up. I also found a local guy to coat them and got it back in a week. The company is 903 Coatings. They do dustless paint removal and all kinds of things. The headers turned out good. I need to get them on this afternoon and get everything loaded this weekend. Then it's Tulsa Time again next week. Maybe I can break my string of bad luck at that track.
