Howza Folks- So, I have dropped the pick up just a touch by removal of leaf springs and no, it does not handle like a bowl of Jell-o. So I like the rough look, but I want to do something else to it. I am thinking of a Bonneville, El Mirage, racetrack or Drag Strip style Push Truck. The engine will remain stock, I will give it dual exhaust (someday), and I like the Moon Discs. So could ya folks post some pics or throw some ideas my way?
Dave West's push truck for the Beebe and Mulligan car... Look here for more pics... http://cacklefest.com/event-photos-12.shtml Neal
So, I know it old hat to do so, but I shot the pick up in satin black. Next up will be burnt orange scallops over the front 1/4 of the pick ups nose and a logo on the door. The Moon Discs will stay....
What's the most common way to mount your push bar? Straight to the bumper or another arrangement? I can see how to mount straight to the bumber but a couple of the pics posted show a frame holding it out from the bumper and I'm wondering how that's mounted to the truck frame?
Here's a push truck I've used a few times. It's owned by one of my customers Ed Timmons. A 1941 Chevrolet steak bed with a propane powered twin-turbo 509" big block chevrolet. Ed's run the truck through the lights at El Mirage @ 161 mph so it's not a bad push truck!
Looking good Bob...Need some pictures of it with the rail. All you need is a board on the front and the flattie fed in front.
