  22. your right ... i had a 84 dodge full size it was the tow truck for the blue 70 duster in my post pic.. the duster was an 11.sec car the truck looked like a work truck but it had a 675 hp 440 in it but did have the drag truck feel to it... it would run 11.2s in the 1/4 smokin the tires down the track, an tow my duster home ... that kinda what i mean .. thanks for you imput the thread has bean edited....Davin
  23. you thinkin like me .... i got an unopened D50 from evilbay for 6.00 shipped... an my plans are for big slicks a 440 or a HEMI. with a scratched built 4 link...... so you in...lol
  24. hey if you want to do a mean street truck witha drag truck feel to it then your in, i want to let as many people in .it was a fist time CBP for me so i was seein what was posible... i will change the first post for ya.. thanks ...Davin
  25. ok fellas i did it this way for a reason because they are rare and you dont see them often... BUT the public has spoken.. so how bout this. when i said scratch build a must that can be one part. if you cant scratch build thats fine .. and as far as street trucks go i was refering to a box stock plain jaine build so a sweet modified street truck is fine as long as it has a drag truck feel to it. i would realy like to see this happen so if this can change your mind to participate then cool bean ... and if there is any other concerns about this project let me kw ...I WANT TO BE FAIR AN LET AS MANY BUILDERS IN AS POSIBLE... THANK YOU ...Davin
