friends '87 with my old 383.. - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Tracy Focht · 03-24-2003, 03:44 PM

this is a pic of my friends SWB, he's the one that bought my 383. Took it to Thunder Valley this last Friday night and ran a 13.53@100 MPH. He has the Telstars for track, and some 17" for daily driving. He also has a complete air ride setup, so it will lay on the ground.

Tracy Focht · 03-24-2003, 03:46 PM

here it is with the 17"...

Tracy Focht · 03-24-2003, 03:48 PM

other friend in his blown Pro Street '54 Chevy ran a 10.69@124 MPH...

bagged81 · 03-24-2003, 03:54 PM

Damn, that looks good! Is he at ride height there? Is it a 4-way setup?

Tracy Focht · 03-24-2003, 03:57 PM

yea, that is about ride height, and will lay on the ground...

**Captkaos** · 03-24-2003, 04:02 PM

hey Chris!

yea, I had to take my Holley 750 HP off, and will have to send it back for warranty. Had some leaking issues, that I felt was wrong for a $600 carb to do.

Other than that, I will put in a new aluminum radiator, waterpump and new TCI tranny cooler this week. When the carb come in, I'll be ready to go!
It better break into the 12's, or I'll be quite disappointed...

*rage'nrat638* · 03-24-2003, 04:15 PM

cool truck.......sounds like you have got it going on ,,,,love to hear that...its going to be a fun summer....MARK

Low87 · 03-24-2003, 04:25 PM

Very nice ride!!!!

LOHRTBT · 03-24-2003, 04:29 PM

HEY CRACKHEAD!!!
Why didnt you tell me that you were heading out there!!?? I would have met up with you.

Lemme know next time you go!

Tracy Focht · 03-24-2003, 04:31 PM

I didn't go...I was at home, on the cell phone getting details run by run..

As soon as I get my carb done, I will be headed there.....

and PS, those are the 17" tires and wheels for tires for sale....

LOHRTBT · 03-24-2003, 04:34 PM

I thought they looked familiar.

Tracy Focht · 03-24-2003, 04:35 PM

not bad for $900 for tires and wheels, he went down on price...

LOHRTBT · 03-24-2003, 04:42 PM

Yeah that is a good deal...wonder if they would go with the bs on a 72 chev??

*rage'nrat638* · 03-24-2003, 04:47 PM

yep...should work, plus he has a new set of Centerline Telstar 15x10's with some fairly new 28x12.50 ET Streets for sale....

LOHRTBT · 03-24-2003, 05:40 PM

OHHH How much is he gonna ask for the TelStars??/et Streets....just the rears??

84Stepper · 03-25-2003, 12:09 AM

I was out there on Friday! I saw both of those trucks run. That pro-street 54 was bad ass!! I loved that truck. The other truck was really nice to, just couldnt keep my eyes off the other truck.

**swervin ervin** · 03-25-2003, 12:29 AM

Tracy, when you going blown?

Cool truck. What times did you run with the 383? How did he hook with the bags? Can't wait to see how the 406 runs. And one more thing, not really Holley savy, why 600 bucks for a 750? Must be one hell of a carb, huh? Is it a DP or vacuum?

**crossy** · 03-25-2003, 12:50 AM

Mike on the holley any 'tricked' holley can go that much by the guys that flow them and do all the tricks. Holley finally caught on a nd have an HP series now that are pretty 'trick' out of the box and they are not much cheaper than that.
Mike i wanted you to see this truck I ran across while browsing some porn ---errr --- I meant classifieds. It just sold and the guy let it go for $7500 I think. I loved the interior.

Tracy. I assume the TBI is off the 87 ?

**crossy** · 03-25-2003, 12:53 AM

interior

gchemist · 03-25-2003, 12:53 AM

I like the speed. Unlike the other guy who is scared to run over 50 MPH. :p
Way nice ride. Does it have a tailgate?

79BIG10 · 03-25-2003, 03:03 AM

Great pics Tracy

I'm like everyone else and can't wait to see the 406's times.

Crossy- Any idea how they bolted that seat setup on the interior? I like the look of the factory console there.

**swervin ervin** · 03-25-2003, 09:55 AM

Someone must have really needed some money to sell that truck that cheap. Nice truck.

You see trucks like that all the time at truck shows. Selling for half or less of what they have in them. I just don't understand this logic. It has to be a money thing, as in needed it really bad.

PHOENIX · 03-25-2003, 12:16 PM

The very top picture looks good. I have needed (and wanted) new wheels for awhile now. Those in the top picture aren't too expensive and they look great on these trucks. I think after my exhuast is done and I have some money Ill sell my draglites and get some of those.
