Re: 1971 chev tractor puller
so, today i picked up a 454 to swap into the truck. the 400 is gonna go on a stand and will probably find its way into another project at some point. its a stock 454 but it will get some goodies thrown its way before it goes into the truck.

Re: 1971 chev tractor puller
ha ha, oh no. gonna bring it back out with a 454 with one of the dual quad tunnel rams, mild build up, dress up parts, fresh paint on the motor, and set up to do wheel stands. louder, meaner, and wilder.
heres a video of one of the my passes from the last pulls. this was pull 2 of 3, the first pull was 190ft, the second was like 168 or something like that, and the third time was exhibition since i threw the puller tires on so i didnt even look lol. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C2WpuEkOmmk

Re: 1971 chev tractor puller
Man this thing is coming along awesome. I love the details and creativity you're putting into this build. One question though, where did you get the front light bezels?

Re: 1971 chev tractor puller
thanks low&slow. they are actually a 4'' led stop, turn, and tail light that i ordered off of ebay for another project that got traded off. they have the standard rubber grommet and the "chrome'' ring is plastic and held on with three screws. the plates they are mounted on though, i made those myself out of a road sign lol.

Re: 1971 chev tractor puller
Cool stuff! You are correct, not many gas pullers left, especially 2wd

Re: 1971 chev tractor puller
Not Sure If You Answered This Already(sorry didnt read the past posts again) But Where Did You Find Your Round Fuel Tank? I'm Also Saving A Truck From The Crusher Into A Puller
Great Build And Hope You Don't Mind Me Using Yours For Ideas

Re: 1971 chev tractor puller
i dont mind one bit Chevy_Guy2005. i used a lot of idea from the 80's when i was building thins truck. i got my tank off of ebay from a seller called thetankguy. its the same tank that speedway motors sells but theirs were all on back order when i last looked. are you gonna do a build thread for your truck too?

Re: 1971 chev tractor puller
Been a long time since I posted anything lol. A few years ago I sold this truck and focused on our other truck. This past Monday however, I bought it back for a couple hundred bucks as a roller. It's going to be getting a new rear end, new frame from behind the cab out the back, 18.4-16.1 pulling tires, and a mild built 454. Its going to be a completely different animal this time around.
I would upload some pics but they are not working 🤔
