Are those tires the G-Force T/A drag radials? If so what size? I was thinking of running those when I drive it to the track. Have you ever had any experience with those tires on anything else?
Nice Looking Pics by the way! Thanks for any info Jeremy

But yes those are BFG Drag Radials, 325/50 15". That's the only size BFG DR that has that slick patch in the center (trust me, I looked at the 255's, and the 275's, neither has the patch) |

I have used them on a few rides and yes they do hook up nice. I have friends that have used them as well. You wouldn't want to drive on them all the time as they like to leave themselves laying all over the pavement when you leave! ![]() ![]()

It's got shaved side markers, gutters, tailgate chains (I have found something cool to replace this ![]() ![]() The truck has a flip kit in the rear w/2" blocks. Up front has dropped spindles and Springs. Not sure what I am going to do for a bed floor yet but i've got the buttonhead stainless bolts for what ever I do. Interior is custom buckets and console. (Black) w/a fully painted interior cab.(Body color) Aluminum overlay instrument bezel. Drivetrain is a 350 w/a 4sp Saginaw & Hurst shifter. Stans headers, flowmasters w/3" exhaust. Running 12 bolt w/3.08 gears. Wheels are Centerline Hammers 15x10 and 15x8 ![]() Also has all new fuel and brake lines from inline tube ![]() Those are the outstanding items and details. PS..Thanks for all the fine comments. It's been a long and drawn-out project for me as I also have a life, family and way too many other hobbies to contend with. But such is life and that's what I agreed to! ![]()

I was wandering if a muncie tranny would work better than the saginaw since you already have drag radials as far as ripping threw the gears? The truck is looking great.

The Saggy-Nut 4sp will do just fine. Under normal driving conditions there should be no issues with it. It's now got a very pretty Gloss Black outer shell. I just forgot to take pics of it before putting it back in the truck
![]() ![]() On the other hand. If whomever buys the truck decides they need to hammer on it a little more than normal, they will be the responsible party for purchasing that $Muncie$ to replace the Saggy-Nut. Whether it be before or after catastrophic destruction ![]() The Saginaw is not a bad trans at all. It just can't take the power and abuse that a Muncie can.

I know that your suspension isn't loaded, but in the pic, it shows about 6" of clearance between the frame and axle even with a flip kit and lowering blocks. ![]() ![]() ![]() Anyway, good luck in your build-up. Post some progress pics, if you get a chance. ![]()
