Yes bed still mounted to cab. Rear gate is a skin as well and it has a custom mount to hold roll pan, tailgate skin and rear bedsides. It does get a decent amount of rubber in it. I may do some metal or carbon fiber at some point.

Re: Its Mine the World Famous 67 Dragtruck

Man I can't believe this thread is still going strong after all these years. I guess the last time I logged in when I was looking to work on the dragtruck's replacement was 5.5 years ago and I haven't touched it since. Lately I got the bug again, you sent some status pics to me, and I'm sitting here shopping for some parts. No chance of me turning this one into a drag truck again. But man is it nostalgic to see the old one and it does fire me up. Hope to have the LS powered one going by summer to fall of next year. I had started a thread for it too years ago back when I had the frame media blasted. I will have to go look to see if it is still there. Truck looks good man. Love some of the changes, and love to see some of the original stuff that only myself and you would remember.

Re: Its Mine the World Famous 67 Dragtruck

My builder opted for the pinto rack over the Mustang style . Mustang looks like a cleaner install to me .

Re: Its Mine the World Famous 67 Dragtruck

Great to see you make so much progress. Can't wait to see it hit the track again.

Sorry to just be repying to this. When the truck was together before it weighed 3150 with me in it. I am adding quite a few things including steel doors so not sure what it will weigh this time.If it's not fast enough for me I will buy a tall deck block and go 600 plus inches.

Re: Its Mine the World Famous 67 Dragtruck

Sorry no pics to post right now but I am looking to get the truck back from having headers built and a few other things. i am gonna work on trying to get it cranked So I will be motivated to finish it! I will try and get some new pics in a week or two!
