Does your Facebook consist of only a profile pic or is it very private? Either way, sent a request to see some pictures/vids.

Thanks. We started to get the front end settled down after the first night and now we are working on weigh reduction. A fiberglass body is already on order but for now we are going to have to sacrifice some weight up front.

Ive never seen a front end/trailing arm/shock setup like that. Of course its a little secluded up here in the northeast. Is that common in your area?

It would have finished 4th out of 9 trucks each night. Van and Atley were 370+ the first night, Gearhart was 366, I was 352, Bowling, Dickey, Kellogg, Stacey and Withrow were behind me. Similar results on the second night with Atley, Kellogg and Stacey at 341-344 and I was 339 and the rest behind me.
However, I was overweight so I would say I didn't embarrass myself too bad for the first time out but can't say much more than that until I get it down to weight. We will be pulling in Ft. Recovery, OH the 27th and 28th and will be down to weight and expect more trucks so, that will be a better measuring stick.

Front end set-ups on a SS truck are just like hitches, pretty much everyone has something different. With the way we set this truck up and the weight distribution along with hitch design we felt this was the best option. Again, once we get it down to weight and have a couple more runs on it we should be able to smooth it out even more.

Still have a stock Ford frame, A steel body with reinforcements for the lift (1800# plus) and the front plate on the weight box was 840# by itself.
I am not convinced a tube frame is the way to go. I've seen too many break and when they flex, they flex bad. We will drop 1500# going to a fiberglass body and we replaced the front 1.5" plate with 1/4" plate so will drop another 700# there. Hoping to have 300# of movable weight for the rest of this season and then put another 1500# up front with the fiberglass body next year.
We are planning on being at Bowling Green.

I’m a puller from when diesel trucks started but I haven’t watched a live hook since 2013. I’m way out of the loop but.... that’s Erik Stacey’s old truck isn’t it?
I don’t have social media and I can’t look at your book or gram accounts, I only looked at the YouTube vids. So if there’s a whole back story that’s common knowledge I’m unaware, haha.

It's not his old truck. It's just the body off of it. Following the build on the book. Very nice work with no expenses spared.

I appreciate all the comments. As mentioned by others its E's old body and the chassis was actually Rocky Roark's old chassis. We redid the entire chassis and running gear with the exception of the rear axle housing, ladder bars and frame rails. Those were pretty solid and only had to do some reinforcements. The hitch, driveshafts, front axle, drop box, clutch, hubs, center sections, suspension....etc were changed for my set-up.
