Original engine and setup-39 viewsYou are looking at the 2000 setup that I had. This was 388 ci stroker motor, Summit 224/234 .480 lift cam, performer RPM manifold, Edlebrock 600 carb, 993 casting heads...

Another angle of the old setup-33 viewsWe didn't have a lot of room to work with on this setup.

End of a dirty day-59 viewsAs you can tell, I had been out of the Navy for about 4 months at this point.
|
|
Broken original rear end-51 viewsAfter welding the spider gears together, the truck lastes 26 passes before it snapped one axle and I almost hit the wall. The next day while running on one axle (which I didn't realize), the last axle broke, I turned on the caution lights halfway down the track, and I got out and waited for a tow :)
|
|
Cutting the truck in half-46 viewsThe day came that we had to narrow the original frame. I had two of these truck so we cut the red truck in half under the cab. We cut the blue truck in half after the cab.

|
The truck is in half-45 viewsWe saved parts of that back half to be used as spacers for the narrowing process.

|
Dave welding in shorts-48 viewsSo much for PPE!
|
|
Doug holding the frame-38 viewsAll that frame stuff was really heavy. He's doing a great job though.

388 stroker-45 viewshere is the old motor out of the truck

|
The original truck-58 viewsHere it is where it all began. You can see Steve's house next door. It seems like this was just yesterday and not 1999/2000.
