Roll bar pic's

Anyone on here have a AD truck with a roll bar or cage installed? Thinking about doing something with mine, I need to get back to the track and I'd like a 10 sec, toy, for starters, to play with. I miss racing, and I don't want to stick a roll bar in the chevelle. Big tires on the old 51 would look cool. My 434 would put it down the track pretty decent. Don't know about the TCI 4 link though, may need to rethink rear susp. Just thinking out loud here, cruise in's are getting old, not enough excitement. I blame you all, looking at the pic's of your trucks done it.

I ran 10's when I still had my TCI 4 link in my 71.

Re: Roll bar pic's

I'm going to try it, I got it and this is a budget build. I see a lot of the 67 to 72's but I,ve never really seen a ad truck with a roll bar. Mine's apart now but when I get the cab on I'll do a little measuring. Thanks for the reply.

Re: Roll bar pic's

It seems odd to me. But I was checking out a buddys little Hot rod the other day and had some questions. It was a Kaiser car (small) but was checking out the cage that was certified to 8.50s and noticed that it didnt have any door bars. How can this be?

Re: Roll bar pic's

I've seen that to. I've seen fast cars that were certified to 7.50 that the welds looked like a 10 yr old welded. I want to drive mine on the street but want to be able to get in and out without to much trouble. Also I think my bars are going to have to go back through the cab, looks like the window will be to low. Would like to figure out a way to seal them with some kinda rubber boot or something similar. Going to have to think on that a little.
