Re: Post Your Ride 67-72 Trucks
AirborneC10, what advantage do you want with the 4 spd? If it's for better highway driving, it won't help. High gear is still 1:1 The only advantage is closer ratio shifting. If that's what you still want though, any Muncie, T10, or plain old Saginaw four speed should install fairly easy with little to no modification.

Re: Post Your Ride 67-72 Trucks
I know I put mine up before but today is a very special day for me.
After the second try I finally passed the German inspection. I could have got it done the first time but I had a mobile inspector check it out and he thought it was too loud. He didn´t have the right stuff with him so today I had to drive her to one of the stations where they check the noise. It was quiet enough and he sent me on my way. I think he just wanted to drive my truck.....and make 96 Euros for 10 minutes work. I also got to personalize my plates, FÜ means the city where I got it registered (Fuerth). NW for the great Northwest where I found her. You all know what the 68 stands for and the H means Historic.

Re: Post Your Ride 67-72 Trucks
Thanks!
If that´s your Dragster up there, I´ll bet you it´s faster than mine. Quote:
The time and money finally paid off. It costed a lot of nerves too. Sorry for making you jealous. Quote:
Glad to hear that you like yellow and white, if I ever get it painted it´s going to be the same colors. How do I get it down those streets? Grease up the sides of the truck, take the mirrors off, blow the horn 3 times, shut your eyes and hit the gas. Just kidding, I haven´t been down a street yet where it wouldn´t fit. I am planning on getting some pictures in front of the castle here in town but I have to get permission from the Town Hall first. This is going to be my biggest problem but I think she will fit:

Re: Post Your Ride 67-72 Trucks
After seeing Greg´s I thought I would post a couple of pictures I got last christmas of my cousins project. I told him if he ever gets tired of it he should let me know, I will finish it for him. He ain´t gonna sell it to no one.

Re: Post Your Ride 67-72 Trucks
This thread is awesome, great way to see all the different ways to build these great trucks!
Question for HoupPhotography, what is your suspension set-up? I notice you have front drums and have read you have bags. Any more information on how you got as low as you are? Could be wheels etc but just curious as it looks great. |

Re: Post Your Ride 67-72 Trucks
FINALLY....a belt/bracket system that doesn't look like it's taking off through the hood. Who makes that setup?
