NO!!! If you enjoy it that's all that counts.

Ask US7RACE if you can get a truck to hook and run.... :o :o

You didn't ask if it was the BEST choice...you just asked if it was dumb.

Tod74 04-27-2009 01:25 PM

I had a 91 long bed regular cab and I had a 94 short bed ext cab...both were Silverados...the long bed was a 305 truck the ext cab came with a 350.....both had 4l60e trans...the long bed single cab was a much beefier truck.It had a huge aluminum driveshaft and heay duty suspension/brakes.

CamBirdRacing 04-29-2009 12:53 PM

700r4 has a detent cable that runs to the throttle body. 4l60 is all electronic. I think they started to put 4l60's in 93.

There's nothing wrong with running a supercab pickup, everybody has his own crosses to bear. Just be content that on your budget its probably gonna be SLOW.....
In the dragracing world.

TheYellaBrick 04-30-2009 12:57 PM

'FAST' is relevant to one's personal perception of the physical and mental sensations of rapid forward movement.
SPEED costs money Honey, how fast you wanna GO ?? :D :D :D

Thats what your friends were trying to tell you even on your budget with a light ride you can run pretty quick times. Don't you have a pretty clean Mopar?

OH NO!! I WAS JUST STARTING TO LIKE THIS KID!!!

JUST kidding Mopars are cool.

txhunter69 05-01-2009 07:03 AM

haha nope never owned a mopar who told you that

dparker 05-01-2009 07:22 AM

James said he thought you or one of your friends had a pretty clean Mopar, but didn't have a title. If you do find a light car it would keep you from racing the vechile you drive everyday. I remember those days of driving my everyday cruiser to the track, pulling slicks out of the trunk and racing. The best decision I ever made was to buy a old mustang for 150.00 and started racing it. Leaving my everyday cruiser as just that. I was lucky everytime I broke my car my dad would loan me one of his cars. One was a 57 Ford stationwagon with a solid lift 390, 3-speed on the column, and the other was a 61 Falcon with a solid lift 289. In 1982 they weren't to Cool.

txhunter69 05-01-2009 08:28 AM
