Re: My 52 GMC Build

Oh and this is what happens when they say no parking after 3:00. We figure he will have to pay $600-$800 to get his truck back.

Re: My 52 GMC Build

Thanks guys my brother likes taking some different pictures.
Well did some calculating and over the past week, we put on 250mi and I am getting 15.5mpg. If I can keep my foot out of the skinny peddle I'll get better than that. I'm happy with it tho for driving around. Range for 1 tank will be about 500mi. Here is my truck on this years T-shirt.

Re: My 52 GMC Build

Thanks Kees she is who we modeled it after I want to change to bigger ears tho. Pictures don't do the stripes justice.

Well taking my truck Drag racing Sunday at St Thomas drag way. It's about 1.5hrs away, weather looks perfect. I will see what it can do the way I have it tuned with 8psi of boost. This is my prayer.

Re: My 52 GMC Build

Well we drove a total of 3hrs at about 60mph to the track and back 150mi. I did 9 passes down the track and I see nothing wrong with the truck
Best pass was 17.649 @ 75mph with 8psi boost. I think the burn outs where the best parts of the pass. They sound great. Biggest et problem is I'm in overdrive before half track, but I didn't build a drag truck. I built a truck I can drag race. It gives me a base line now I can play on that. I'll have some video soon, here are some pics.

Bob, it looks like you're having lots of fun. I missed a bunch of posts for some reason, so I'll re-subscribe to your thread.

I saw this feature from the Unfinished Nationals. Some pics of your truck (and mine too, lol) http://www.stanceiseverything.com/20...hed-nationals/
