Canadian play/drag truck build

[devdiesel]

Just luck of the draw I guess BOSS, pretty neat though, theirs a few good ones. Drive back was much faster until we hit the boarder... Never even crossed my mind but their was a Buffalo Bill's game Sunday night Lol, half of Toronto was there so we sat in line for an hour and a half.. Ended up being 14 hrs but not to bad

Ouch! Funny story my gf insisted on a picture that day. When she posted it on insta I realized it was your truck behind us with mine in the distance.. Can't win for losing. Good looking truck for sure though! Hope the winter project goes well and I see y'all in the spring.

 

[devdiesel]

Haha guess yours was just a little camera shy... Ya this winter will be fun, lots of ideas flying around in my head. Still not 100% decided on what I'm going to do for air... It's going to go on a diet again and get as much moved to the back as possible

 

[BOSS450]

Same thing going on here as far as a diet goes. Throw any ideas this way Bc I'm running out of them quick without major surgery. Trying to keep it resembling a street truck

 

[devdiesel]

i agree, it still needs to look and function like a street vehicle... but its never going to haul anything again.. think the bed structure is going to get removed, lighter duty bracing to hold it together along with thin aluminum panels and wheel tubs. battery, trans cooler, fuel cell, probably lift pump, and NOS bottle to the back... oh and a pair of factory steelies up front with some lighter narrower tires up front

i keep thinking about doing a shorty for simply the weight transfer but I'm liking how it looks right now so well see... don't think i can move much more at that point but I'm open to ideas....

looking into a different front suspension setup also.. get some lift off the line

Sweet build I just realizes who you were I think I talked to you and your dad a couple years ago at ts.

 

[devdiesel]

Hey Robbie, Ya we spoke a couple times at different years at TS. It's been a fun project so far with the regular bumps along the road.

[devdiesel]
