Wes, you will get it runnig and i would love to see you over here. We have a couple bad ass cars over here including a 1949 ford pickup (OUCH!! to the chassis builders on here) with the original frame and a wooden bed it looks like the (salad dressing)Hidden Ranch delivery truck(owned by a friend that's affectionly called Ears) nick named that because one day he ran 8.10 and didn't pull the shoot. When asked how he ever got around the shutoff road he said i just stuck my head out and my ears slowed it down.(hehe he does have big ears)
No kiddin this truck was owned by my best friends dad in 1969 when Ears bought it. I have pics. when my friend and his sister was like 10 yrs. old, it was go to work truck with a 396" and he used to race it on sat. nite.
One day i'll post all the pics. and some runs in a video of the truck. It now has a 632" with a ton of nitrous and has run 7.91 at 191mph at twin cities.
Zip.
