Re: 1966 Chevy SWB Gasser influenced truck
Cool. What intake? How about some final stance pics after the PB notch out back? What set-up are you using for that?

Re: 1966 Chevy SWB Gasser influenced truck
Sweet truck, love the gold motor.
I don't get the title "Gasser Influenced" though. I was anticipating a front straight axle, nose high attitude and lotsa motor. Whatever you call it though you do nice work. |

Re: 1966 Chevy SWB Gasser influenced truck
Big & little Cragars, gold motor, period valve covers & air cleaner are all period 'correct' items from the 'gasser' days so 'gasser influenced' sounds right to me. It's just not a straight axle & has a modern lowered suspension which is much better for driving.

Pick a NHRA class of that era, nearly all were running big a littles and aftermarket valve covers. What sticks out in the minds of those who saw gassers run was the nose high attitude and the straight axles. Like I said I really like Hardwaa's truck.... it's all good, but I still fail to see a gasser connection. Last edited by lakeroadster; 01-04-2010 at 07:16 PM. |

Re: 1966 Chevy SWB Gasser influenced truck
i agree - i like the truck very much - but also agree - it is not a gasser - ive been thinking aboiut actually doing my LWB in gasser style, but wont be for a while - need to get it to be a daily driver first and foremost or it will be a mobile home for my divorced ass.
anyway - nice job, i love that sea foam green exterior and Im in process of stealin your gold theme motor great job man! |

I've seen many 'support' vehicles for gassers that weren't running straight axles. So would a gasser-influenced 'support' truck work better?

Re: 1966 Chevy SWB Gasser influenced truck
I thought I posted a while back that I call this truck "The Pusher"( notice title of youtube clip in my signature). That Steppenwolf song was playing one night in the garage and I looked at my truck and said perfect . When I started building this truck I wanted that 60's dragrace/pushtruck vibe. It must be from my old gasser, fuel altered books that I drool over,and love all the old trucks in the backround that pulled those HOTRODS to the track.
Anyways thanks for the compliments. Truck is up for "adoption" but not sure if I could let it go will have to see what happens.

Re: 1966 Chevy SWB Gasser influenced truck
Im glad it was finally considered a support truck.....put some bumper guards on the front or a push plate and then it can also be a salt flats push car too! By the way that vid clip is insane, short but so motivating! love the stance, sound and look....your project is actually really great and period correct for any route a owner of that day was going for.
