Ah, you like taildraggers eh? It was a somewhat popular look of leadsleds of the fifties. No pics for ya.

Project77 · 08-10-2011, 08:39 PM

yes i like the taildraggers its comming back in these newer style trucks so i wanted to see what it would look like on these older models i thought it would look sweet if they look as bad ass as the newer model trucks i would do it to mine cause i know when you ride with the front end up in the air it makes you feel like a king lol

1.5 tons of concrete and a half ton is instantly a taildragger.

You wanna drag tail...bag it, block the rear frame and drag away. Sparks all day hehehe. Not sure what the point of lowering the rear without the front would be. Please explain.

**Boog** · 08-10-2011, 10:08 PM

I think you'd cut the tires on the fender lips with that wheel/tire combo.

Project77 · 08-10-2011, 10:13 PM

yea i already had that issue with the front tires i cant hit the bumps otherwise it will cause either a rubbing issue or if im turning fast it will cut into that tire

Now that is funny. I couldn't think of a serious reply to his ridiculous request either. I can only offer a 3/4 front view.
