Decided im going to race this year, started working on the truck.

Putting a coan brake in my TH400. Got some billet wheels with 295 radials, figured im gonna need beefier rear with the car pattern.

the motor bent a crossmember in the rear while racing with no bumper on it, too much twisting, added in some DOM tubing. much stronger.

Took a housing out of a van, extra wide 68".. cut it for optimum wheel placement at 64 1/2, only cut a piece out the driverside in order to help center the pinion.

Update on the truck.

 After a couple life changes the truck went back into hiding. I rebuild the transmission and finished everything off over the last couple months.

The motor is back in the truck along with the rebuilt th400. The 9 inch is all buttoned up.
Made clearance for the new headers.

Next up: Going to use camaro rotors and obtain a 4 3/4 bolt pattern to fit some nice wheels, while installing all new bushings and ball joints to keep the MTO happy.
