Drag Racing my 73 Stepside
I am about to drag race my 73 Stepside but I need some direction in the suspension department. I have a 4/6 drop on my truck now. Looking for someone who can help and show me how to get this truck to hook up so I can win a few passes. Hoping to find someone who races their truck. I want to get a real good launch off the line, can anyone help thanks pics are coming soon

Re: Drag Racing my 73 Stepside
I looked them up and my part number is Cal tracs 3900 I think and its not bad for 400 bucks. Do they really work though, I am getting ready to race my buddy he has lakewood traction bars, 90/10 shocks trying to get him. he has a beast for the heart. Trying to have the edge but he hooks up though, thinking about installing a limited slip locker 373's or 411's in my 12 bolt.

Re: Drag Racing my 73 Stepside
caltracs work!!! they can put a drop in the spring for you also. With the complete caltracs system you'll think you have a 4 link

Re: Drag Racing my 73 Stepside
I had the lakewood truck specific bars on my truck and changed to caltracs and noticed a big difference. If you have a flip kit on the rear axle, make sure you get the flip-kit model. Maybe get in touch with CaptKaos over on 73-87chevytrucks.com....he'll hook you up with a real good price on the caltracs. The caltracs are in the catalog over there. http://store.73-87chevytrucks.com/me...gory_Code=SUSP
