Pro Street anyone??
 

Hey, do you guys have any good pictures of 67-72 chevy pro street trucks? Does anyone have any good ideas on building these pro street trucks? I am wanting to backhalf my truck and have been trying to save up the money for a while now...just need some motivation to keep saving, I am really excited about doing this, because I don't see many out there and the ones I do see that are "tubbed" are just that, wheelwells cut out with few suspension modifications, basically they look like crap. I wanna do it right...if anybody has anything to share on this please let me know what's on your mind, I'm really excited about this!@!! thanks guys

Heres one i saved

Re: Pro Street anyone??
 

Heck ya, there you go, although i would prefer mind to ride lower, much lower in the front for sure.

Re: Pro Street anyone??
 

Those bars would get in the way of lumber and stuff.

And yes, I would go to Home Depot or Lowes and pick up some lumber or something in that.
Take a load of crap to the dump in that.
Oh yeah! :metal:

Re: Pro Street anyone??
 

Todd, that was hilarious...I seriously laughed...... freaking, show up at the dump, unload all your crap, and then do a huge muddy burnout as you leave...SWEET!!!!!

Re: Pro Street anyone??
 

I was thinking of doing the huge smoking burnout at a red light in a nice part of town somewhere with all the crap still in the bed. :haha:
That would give the rich, snobby, desperate housewives something to have a heart attack about. :devil:

Perfect!! Absolutely, scare their 6 month old teacup poodle out of the window of their Mercedes, into L.A. traffic...

Re: Pro Street anyone??
 

I think upgrading it with zoomies and maybe run methanol so that it'll blow flames out the pipes would add that certain... "I don't know what" to it too. Especially in the aforementioned neighborhood... at 6am. BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. Have to have a fast truck to be in the next city before the cops show up. LOL

Re: Pro Street anyone??
 

True, and a green truck like that one would blend right in, you'd never see it in traffic...:confused:

Re: Pro Street anyone??
 

my work in progress.

Awesome, can you tell me more about your project truck there, what kind of back half kit did you use, or is it a full frame? What company did you get the parts from? Was it difficult to build, or simple as following instructions and measuring properly? Any information is helpful...Thank you very much

My sleeper....

Re: Pro Street anyone??
 

Talk to a race car builder for a true pro-street truck.I started with a 3/4t Stepside,took it to a local race car builder who back 1/2`d it with a custom-built 4-link coilover suspension and a Mark Williams narrowed Dana60 to a shortbed wheelbase.I shortened the bed and installed a steel Fleetside floor with factory wheel houses.I left the frame work to the builder and just spec`d what I wanted.

Re: Pro Street anyone??
 

What size are those rear tires, They look like they fit nicely

Re: Pro Street anyone??
 

Man I love the direction your headed in with that truck. is the rear frame narrowed at all or is it just narrowed axle? what kind of rear suspension are you running? just like the one I have planned :metal:

15x14 rims w/ 10" bs
31x18.5x15 tires
stock frame/suspension
only problem i ran into was balancing the tires. the machines dont have a long enough arm.. could balance on a bubble balancer though... oh and you have to have smooth drums to fit inside the corvette style ralleys... had to modify a set of 6 bolt drums to work with mine..

Re: Pro Street anyone??
 

corvette rallies??

ahhhh Big Block!! I want one!!

Re: Pro Street anyone??

Re: Pro Street anyone??
 

more about the rear like what is it out of


and please tell me those are not...I can't say it...tail lights???

Re: Pro Street anyone??
 

Nice and clean!!! Sweet ride man

Re: Pro Street anyone??
 

Rear end is stock 68 width rearend - wheels are stock ralleys - split and opened up to 14.5" with 8.75" of negative offset
Tubs are widened and the bed floor is cut back flush with the frame rails
You also have to build a keeper to pull the E brake cables away from the wheels as they will rub the edge of the wheel
The rearend was rebuilt with Moser axles, eaton posi and 4.10 richmond gears
Tires are 18.5 x 31 Hoosier prostreet radials
Yes those are tail lights :)

Re: Pro Street anyone??
 

E brake cables what are those???

how does that panard bar setup work?? never thought about moving to the front of the axle???
