Ditto. I grew up 3 miles from Woodburn Drag Strip and I remember Ed "Ace" Mccullogh towing his dragster down from Spokane on a flatbed trailer...
...or drill the Mopar rotors to match the 5 1/2" bolt circle. That's what I did. Or drill the drums to match the front.
And I doubt you'll have any trouble reselling the Cragars when you want to...
Yup, that old Mercedes setup is my all-time fave.
Real trucks don't pull with their bumpers. Hitches should be welded to the frame. Besides, a lot of the trucks shown here don't look like they're...
As long as you're in there, bolt on a set of Chev inline 6 rockers. It's the equivalent of adding a RV cam, but for only $35. Who doesn't like...
This may morph into two Friday's worth of art shows...

Not much "space" in the Space Junkie!

The search feature is your best tool on this site. That and a good attitude. There is also a social group for our trucks. Welcome! BTW- nice ride.
That's showin' them, Greg!
Does your '57 still have the beam axle? I imagine anything would be easy with that setup. Please note that the truck in question has IFS welded in...
...and without computers. Does anyone still know how to use a slide rule?
I must say, Russ, I like that bearing setup for your column. Is that a ready-made piece or something you whipped up?
Glad I said "IIRC". Obviously I didn't "RC"! I just checked LMC's website, and sure enough, Todd is correct. Nothin' like the HAMB to keep us all...
