Tested Another Stock Suspension

[rayL]

This is the lil white truck ive been workin on with a buddy for him. Its on stock leaf springs, slidealinks, and 295 drag radials.



In this video watch the left rear tire after the burnout. This is how a track is supposed to be prepped boys. This first video is a lil shakedown to make sure it was even gonna go down the track.

The second video he left on the trans brake to make sure all that would work. Left at 2800..and still had a 1.50 60 ft. These lil trucks can hook. Hell this one didnt even have a tailgate. These passes were all motor with a brodix headed 383. Next week we are gonna try and lay a real number down.





My camera makes everything look stretched for some reason so it looks a lil funny but yall get the idea, vid2 (http://videos.streetfire.net/video/77f2e1bd-eea3-4bd2-8aa2-9934012e9ac7.htm) http://www.s10v8.com/images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif

Looks like there is alot of potential there. That was a mota beggin for spray if I ever saw one.



Man I\'m going nuts to get back to work on mine. No time with a 4 week old baby girl, a 3 year old girl and a 4 year old girl. Working 50+ hours a week. I looked at some pics of that truck when yall started on it. I started adding my cage and all my mods about the same time, and I see you guys are a long ways ahead of me.



Appreciate the videos and ongoing progress reports to keep the rest of us motivated.



Why the hell couldn\'t I have been born rich instead of so DAMN good looking. Then I wouldn\'t have to work for a living. http://www.s10v8.com/images/smilies/icon_mad.gif

make no mistakes cuz, we are far far far from rich. I also have 3 kids and a wife. The guy that owns this truck has been saving money for a while so we could pretty much just do it all at once. I also work for a GM dealership which doubles as the hotrod shop after 5 oclock http://www.s10v8.com/images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif . That makes it easier. This truck isnt gonna be a spray monster like mine. We are gonna put a small cold fusion 75-175 plate on it and let her eat. It sounds lazy cause he was leaving at 2800 instead of 4800 which is about where it will end up. Throw up some pics of your hotrod and lets see how shes coming along. If you need some odd and end parts hit me up. I have a ton of small block and s10 parts here and there and love to help folks who like to help themselves.
