I fit duals calipers on mine with 15" wheel an believe me it is a TIGHT fit!

Truck looks awesome man. Work on the 60ft before you add more power. If you can get it to hit 1.4X 60's on a GOOD TRACK (as in a test and tune with other drag-slick vehicles) then after that, work on the power.

Talk to Harvey about hooking it up too, I am sure he can give you some good advice for a 2wd.

appears that you switched up the suspension some - how does that triangular upper link affect the suspension motion?

Yeah, I have 15x14 wheels in the back. Gives you a lot of options for slicks.

I had Cole do the wishbone in the rear. The old track bar would hit the 1480 yoke when I took the weight off the suspension. I havent checked the suspension travel yet, but I don't foresee any problems as it follows the arc of the upper 4 link bars.

cbtoyz · 08-16-2011, 06:51 PM

Thanks for the offer. I ended up getting one already.

cbtoyz · 08-29-2011, 08:07 PM

Took a few pictures of the truck with the bed on today.

cbtoyz · 08-29-2011, 08:25 PM

I'm thinking about just slapping it together enough for Ponci's Diesel days. It wont be painted or anything but I really want to make a pass, and there isn't much in the way of making it run right now.

*JQmile* · 08-29-2011, 09:21 PM

Do it!!!

Dazed&Confused · 08-30-2011, 08:57 AM

Truck looks good.

cbtoyz · 09-02-2011, 06:30 PM

Dazed&Confused · 09-02-2011, 08:31 PM

Wish they were on youtube so I could see them. Does it feel much different?

tater_thrower76 · 09-02-2011, 08:44 PM

Nice build

cbtoyz · 09-02-2011, 10:09 PM

Thanks everybody. I'm working hard to get it together so I make some passes this weekend. I sat in it with it running, and couldn't help but to do a little burnout. If I am successful I will put some videos on youtube.

cbtoyz · 09-03-2011, 01:43 PM

I just drove it!! The steering wheel is off about an 1/8th of a turn, not too bad considering I just slapped the 4 link bars in there without measuring anything... It's really really close to being able to run it down the strip!

cbtoyz · 09-04-2011, 09:08 PM

The exhaust and window are in.

It's down to some wiring and suspension work.
