hey man. sweet truck! I see you are running coil overs in the rear.. is the rear frame narrowed? my 71 project is heading in the same direction. I just wanted to know how you got those big wheels and tires under that thing. is the inside of the bed tubbed at all? got any rear suspension pics?? thats awesome

[paul1969]

thanks john what i did was notched the frame with some 6'' half tube 3/8'' thick and ordered the shock mount kit from swracecars. as far as the bed i cut the inside and made extentions 8'' wide and then welded the itall back in.i hope this helps you out good luck on your build.

[jgh64pkup]

i agree with the license plate that truck is insane

[bigbadjohn84]

dang.. is there really that much room under there for tires?? without narrowing the frame?? are those custom offset wheels, or is the rearend narrowed?? on either trucks

[paul1969]

i forgot to add that i narrowed the rearend 6'' total the wheels are 15x10 with a 5'' backspace i can fit a 15x12 with a 7'' backspace which is what i intend to go to when the money gets right again.

[bigbadjohn84]

ahh sweet man. good to know. I've got a 12 bolt loaded with the factory GM posi. Just need some gears and some meats to go under it. that thing looks good

Here are the Plans:
http://www.jegs.com/

Jegster Ladder Bar Crossmembers
Jegster Ladder Bar Crossmembers #550-40010

Jegster ladder bar crossmembers are stronger per pound, because the included
braces allow the main crossmember to be made of lighter material and allow increasing
the weld area to the frame rails. Made from 1.5'' x .134'' wall mild steel tubing.
56'' Extra Wide
Kit includes:

(1) 56'' crossmember with 2-1/2'' center drop.
(4) .188'' thick, 3-hole brackets with 3/4'' holes.
(2) bracket webs.
(2) 1-1/4'' x 18'' steel tube braces.
(2) bolts and lock nuts.





Competition Engineering Ladder Bar
Competition Engineering #247-2006
Increase traction by eliminating wheelhop

Ladder Bar Features

33" long
Best for 100"-115" wheelbases
Made of 1" O.D./.156" wall tubing
3/4" forged rodends threaded directly into tubing
Front end braces prevent rodends from bending & breaking
Double 360° housing brackets withstand brutal loads


Competition Engineering Floating Axle Housing Mount
Competition Engineering #247-2030

The use of ladder bars with a leaf spring rear suspension requires that the rear
end housing not be rigidly attached to the leaf spring. This is because the
ladder bars and the front half of the leaf spring establish two different and competing
centers of rotation for the axle housing. A floating housing mount eliminates the binding and
allows the housing to rotate properly.

Wow, these trucks are amazing. My truck doesnt look nearly nice but Ill still post up a pic. This is my daily driver so those are just 600 Holley's. I do have a set of predators if I ever get it to the track.

[bigbadjohn84]

HOLY CRAP! did you say daily driver.. geeze man. that big tunnel ram intake on there looks good. how is it on the street?

[MoFaster]

Its pretty good with the 600's. It has the Lunati Voodoo 292/300 Roller cam and believe it or not im still using my power brakes. lol I did live in Fort Smith, Ar. and I could drive it anywhere I needed to. Now I live in San Antonio and Im now looking for a newer truck. I put the Predators on for a weekend and those are AMAZING, but not very streetable. I hope I can get it to the track pretty soon. Im going to replace fuel system before I take it.

[limitedstreetoutlaw]

Hey MoFaster did that truck set at the back of a car lot in van buren for awhile? i remember seeing one that looked just like that.

Man Im not sure. Could have been I know it got passed around for about 6 months. One guy bought it and he was told that it had a 454 in it and he couldnt get it to run right. So my buddy bought it from him and we pulled tha motor and it was a .030 over 396 with a 454 balancer and flywheel. So I ended up with it. When I got the motor it was apart. I put new bearings in it and put it back together with the right stuff.
