I just bought the truck so no videos yet. I bought the truck as a rolling chassis but it has been as fast as 9.2 i believe with a BBC and a glide.
It's got a ladder bar, mustang tubular front end and is certifed to 8.50 in NHRA. Got some 32 x 14 goodyears in the back I plan on putting a BBC chevy in the thing with a TH400. So hopefully this next summer i will have some vid's when are racing season stars up again.....dang winter always gets in the way
the best part about of this truck is the weight, any guess's on how much with a BBC and a 200lb driver
-
oh yeah i bought the truck out of edmonton but i live in medicine hat anyone from this area
-
I take a stab at the weight: 3800lbs
Considering the 'glas front and since you said it was good :)
-
My 73 SWB with 454/4speed weighed 3860 without me in it. Is the frontend glass or steel?
-
all steel except the hood and the front bumper, back and side windows are lexan
-
I would say 3700 pounds at the least.
-
around 2800lbs is what I was told from the guy i bought it from, just gotta borrow some scales
from a buddy to weigh it myself
-
Hey Chris, are you taking into account that it is not on the stock frame. Probably a thinner-wall fully boxed type deal. But 2800 still seems a bit light. Let us know what the scales say.
-
I couldn't tell what kind of frame other than the front was clipped. Is it a full frame replacement. 2800 is LIGHT. Let us know.
-
there is about 2 or 3 feet of the stock frame just under the cab, the back half is 2 x 3, the firewall and floor all tin, doors are gutted and tinned over in the inside, the box floor is tin as well as the box cover, the wheels are aluma star which are one of the lightest wheels on the market. The truck has had any excess weight shed in every possible area. The owner before said he had a 700 horse 468 and that the truck went 9.80 with it and that with a 900 horse 540 it went 9.20 with a glide too, so we will see when i scale the thing. It's hard to believe a truck can weigh that little, but after looking the truck over it has been completely gutted so we will see. I can only hope that is what it weighs, becuase that is the eaisest way to go fast.

That's a bad truck! :o
-
Any updates on this truck? I'm trying to build something similar.....well.....slower!!
-
Looks cool, I would like to see it run...
-
< Just marking this so I can come back to it and see the pictures at home.
-

-
i put an gm iron headed 468 that makes 450 hp and 525 for torque . I'm 200 lbs and with me in it the truck wieghs 2980lbs. Had it out at the track a few times now the best is a 11.18 @119 with a 1.47 sixty foot. i will try and get some videos
-
