Took my 74 square body to the quarter mile drag strip
« on: August 24, 2017, 10:53:31 AM »
I initially trailered my motorcycle, wanting to take that on the quarter mile.  However, I decided to do one run in my truck, up against a Dodge Dart.  My truck is a 74 with M/T tires, the original 350 engine, 35" tires, a 3" lift, and the original TH350 3 speed automatic transmission.  The carburetor isn't even tuned for this altitude.  I did the quarter mile in 22.57 seconds.  My top speed of 58.45 MPH. :D

Very cool. I've got a 74 c10 same engine, transmission. Guess I won't be challenging any Darts for pink slips. Love the fact you raced your truck. Enjoyed your video.
