There's something about that "Sourdough" truck that I just love...

Also really dig the look of our trucks without headliners. Kirlinator's truck reminded me of it. There's so much interesting detail up in the roof that you never get to see with a headliner in.

1 Ton, truck's looking good. I think orange will be rad looking!

Hopefully this won't get this thread moved to the drag racing section... But how about a little love for the old Emergency West wheelstander!

Haven't seen this truck in ages and wonder what happened to it after the owner passed away. But the Ms. Misery drag truck reminded me of how awesomely insane this truck was.

Anyone remember the build back in Super Chevy or Hot Rod (something like 211 years ago, ha ha).

Enjoy.

Man thats freaking awesome

the dual wheels on that wheelstander reminded me of this guy I know, he used to build multi-engine tractor pullers. He built a 2wd rcsb that's sort of a cross between a stepside and a dually, built the bed custom. It's got dually wheels and street tires, 454/th400 in the front, and a blown alcohol hemi facing backwards in the back. Driving around it just looks like a guy delivering a race motor (it's street legal). On the track he used the 454 to get it moving, then at about 70mph he'd hit the second pedal and the hemi took over. All it did was light up the tires and make it squirrelly, 235/85/16 10 ply truck tires have no interest in playing that game. On paper the truck will supposedly do just over 200 mph, but obviously you can see where traction is a problem.
Not knowing anything about multi-engine setup, my first question was what's going to stop the high revving 2200hp hemi (6 gallons of alcohol in a 1/4 mile!) from eating the stock 454? Well, nothing I guess, because after only a few runs the hemi ate the 454. So now he is building a 4.3 v6 Chevy for it. Why? I haven't a clue. Maybe he thinks it will withstand a sudden, crank driven over rev better than the heavy big block. But now it will probably be a wheelstander, if it ever hooks up that is.
Sorry, no pics, but its not a crewcab so I couldnt put it here anyway.

here's one I saw the other day, did a double take then turned around and shot some pictures

The guy who used to build my race motors has a crew dually with the same paint as the one pictured above. Was that ZZ Top paint job something one of the conversion places commonly did following the success of Elimiator or just a random national phenomenon?

[my88chevycrewcab]

my 88 R20 crewcab when it got hit a few weeks ago.
2WD, SRW, 6.2 Diesel, TH400, FF14, EX USAF, 62K original miles, no rust, body used to be super clean

i miss my truck. hit and run. went to go to work and found my truck like this. damaged body left side from rear bumper to front fender. this truck drove like a dream before. now she pulls hard to the left.

anyone know where to get good replacement front suspension for my R20? i need two new tie rods at least.

[pig rig]

napa their like 25 bucks each

M88CC... Don't know where you're located in CA (central CA or Sacto area would be my guess from the background pics but no clue really.)

But Classic Industries and CCP have a lot of stuff. Plus junk yards and craigs list... There's TONS of parts trucks around.

Bummer about gitting hit. I lost a '77 C20 crew to a guy who ran a stop sign. No fun, but looks like your truck should buff right out...

its mostly body damage. it just sucks because i searched for over 2 years for this truck. i was looking for a crewcab but not a dually and a diesel. i found it with 60,000 original miles with a fairly clean body, great running order. the bed i could care less about, easy to change out the bed. my biggest complaints are the huge dent in the cab and my perfect alignment is now totally off.

im sorry to hear about your 77crew. did you at least get compensated fairly for it?

It was 20 years ago. Bummer then, but that's how it goes...

All this makes me fear for my 77 once it hits the roads... Going with "agreed value" coverage so I am hoping it'll be easier to have saved if something does happen - and if I don't wind up in prison for killing the other driver... :-)

Wow, bunch of great trucks since I last checked in! I have got to get off my a** and get my 82 back on the road. Just need to finish the lift kit. After looking at these last few pics I don't know how I'm going to be satisfied with only a 4 inch lift. I could throw a 3 inch body in there and be happy with the height and still be legal, but I've only got 31" tires so I don't want to get too tall and make the tires look puny (punier). Have to hope my friend comes through for me, he's trying to find me some stock steel GM 8 lug 19.5s. I think some 245/70/19.5s ought to look tall enough to justify another 3 inches of lift.

[thirdstreettito]

19.5's are about 33" tall.
