Cheap and Easy.
I’m sure they are billet cranks so likely not a lot of use.
Truckers, lets see your rigs!

I didn't think about them, we have a local place that deals with Weller, I'll have him call them too.

What other details? Motor?
What’s the wheel base? Looks like it may be close to my FLC, which is 221”. Honestly I don’t know if shorter is necessarily better. My dad shortened his frame 2’ years ago. He keeps talking about going back. Couple other guys bought hot rods and lengthened the frame from where the previous owner had them at.

Ddec 3 Detroit. Wheel base is 270 everything we have played with that 200 to 230 range seems to be pretty good.
Just had a D12 in here that is a turd at low RPM, is that because of the European tuning?
It's a D12. It's NOT a turd on the low end. It's a turd everywhere. Why do you think they last so long?

Keep us updated on the progress. I look forward to seeing it on the track this summer! Where did he find it?

Ya but 270 can turn in to 220 pretty easy. Finding a truck 12miles from home with 3.90 rears full lockers and a 1813 trans can't always be done.

Yea but look at all the hot trucks, if WB helped they wouldn’t be as short as your memory.

That may be one of the few pulls that I have seen a long wheelbase truck not hop, betting the air bags were jacked to the moon to keep that pete air ride from hopping.

He also did not stay into it to spin out, and im guessing the sled wasn't set for the power he had. My brother hasn't decided how hot he is going this year, but much more than just the ecm he got the tandems will be rolled forward.

Should get ahold of Chris, see if he still has the big 12v71 Detroit! Eventually be down on power, but would sound cool!

Down on power would be an understatement! When Dunn pulled his out of the Lady Butterfly that truck finally saw the last half of the track.

What’s in Lady Butterfly now? I’ve only ever seen it with the 12v71
