That quote must have been from a really old post. Mine is not together but I do have most of the parts.

guys and gals we have a fuel pressure issue but I hope to get it worked out and take the truck to the track this weekend! They do test and tune friday and sunday! Wish me luck! and here's a few more pics
1. new door handles
2. 4130 steering column with disconnect hub!
3/4. trick shifter/delay box mount

Here is the link for the LED lights. I saw them when Stacey David did a 67 - 72 truck and put these in. They are REALLY bright. Everyone knows how dim the stock ones are. I remember following my dad one night when he was in our 73 farm truck. The tractor blew a fuse and had no headlights. I had a hard time seeing them!

Sorry I haven't been here in a while we have been thrashing on the drag truck! We made it to the track Friday night and the first 2 passes were not good it was a little weak and spun quite a bit we checked the timing and it only had 30 degrees of timing in it! We adjusted the timing and it was much stronger! My best pass on 5 yr old slicks and a slick track was a 6.82 1/8 mile @ 103 mph! I went back on Saturday night after Djing and was ready to make a good pass on a fresh set of tires and a better track and broke the pump in the tranny! Its fixed now and I will bracket race it for 10,000 Saturday and Sunday! Wish me luck!

P.S. Special thanks to everyone that has helped Emory Pierponte, James Shipman, DeeDee, Wayne Nobles, 1ton K5, Scooter, Station Wagon, Kyle, Johnny Ray, Mitch Perkins, Hugh Meeks, Clarence Woodham and thanks to the wife and kids for not killing me for neglecting them lately!

djracer · 04-18-2006, 08:11 AM

More thrashing! I'm Sorry I didn't get any more pics from the track on friday but I'll get some this weekend!

djracer · 04-18-2006, 08:14 AM

bigjimzlll · 04-18-2006, 08:39 AM

congrats 6.82 is really quick. Im having some issues too...I went 7.20 and 11.30(NA) but it stopped pulling at 1000'. I have only made one pass because of all the dam rain....maybe this weekend

djracer · 04-18-2006, 08:49 AM

Jim I'm swapping in a 9inch convertor so I can spray it soon! I don't think my 8 inch can take the pressure! I even hooked up the exhaust last week it sounds odd when you are used to open headers! It has 3 inch in and out flowmasters on it!

**Yukon Jack** · 04-18-2006, 11:31 AM

Thanks for the update - sounds like quite a ride!

LUV2XCLR8 · 04-18-2006, 03:50 PM

**Hart_Rod** · 04-18-2006, 04:52 PM

How about some pics with it pulling the front wheels off the ground?!!!

djracer · 04-18-2006, 05:00 PM

Coming up ASAP but Tom said it doesn't do the big wheel stands anymore! I only got one decent pass friday night and none Saturday night! It had ragged tires and the track was slick friday night so we'll get some pics this Saturday!

bigjimzlll · 04-18-2006, 10:09 PM

are you running a glide? If the 8" is for a th400 I would be interested in it.

djracer · 04-18-2006, 11:41 PM

its a turbo spine 8 inch I'll let you know If i get rid of it!

**GMCPaul** · 04-19-2006, 05:29 AM

gmcracing92 · 04-21-2006, 11:34 PM

damn you really have a nice truck there, makes me want to start fixing up my 70 again and maybe turn it into a racer.

djracer · 04-24-2006, 12:06 AM

I had a good weekend of racing I ran a 6.60 in the eighth! I went out first round on saturday after thrashing to get there! I won the first two rounds today and went out the third!
