Lookin good Dustin.ldtu:
You and I are deffintely going to have to get our trucks together going down the 1/4 mile.
Sounds good to me Keith:thumbup: I think my little 408 will need some extra:help:
Mike, the front suspension is new this year too. So, lots of new stuff to try and get worked out. Joliet is coming up too quick:no:
WOW what kind of RPM's you shifting at? :scared1: :drool:
John
Nothing too major. Typically shift about 6900-7000 rpm but if its a max effort pass, it'll go 7500-7600 rpms.

Yes, its the actual stamping from a 1940 Ford Tailgate. Dented the tailgate in where we were gonna put the cutout of the '40 Ford tailgate in and then bonded it on. Its held up good for the past 4 years or so

The "NEW" truck looks great. Nice tranformation.
I seen a similar idea done with the "Powered By Ford" stamping from an old rocker cover. It was welded in on the doors, below the vent window.
Dustin,
Truck looks Killer. Cant wait to see it in Joliet. Also do some talking about the 335 engine's and find out some more about the CHI stuff.
Maybe I can shave some weight of these heavy weight engines I have.

The front is really impressive. I'm sure you get a lot of people turning their heads..especially when you tell them the year/make/model

You're not bringing the truck? Dang, I was hoping we could line up against each other:cr1:
Yes, the hood is a VFN 5".
Bobby, we can think of a killer 335 series combo for ya. I'll have to tell ya about the one that I have in the works. Was hoping to have it in for Joliet, but it just aint gonna happen.
Yeah, Clevelands are pretty heavy. A little help from aluminum heads and intake will get it down a good 75 pounds I'm sure.
Thanks Tim. I still need to get those v/b's dropped off to ya. Maybe when I drop the v/b's off, your truck will be uncovered and getting wrenched on

i have a huge blower
I wish I was. we might have a hell of a race. it's a pricey adventure to make it to joliet though. Kansas was tough enough, now it's an extra 1000 miles round trip.
