In an attempt to get better gas mileage, I swapped the 750 carb and high volume pump for a 600 carb and stock fuel pump.
Truck still runs decent even with the smaller cam and carb.
It ran a best of 8.74@72 mph in the 1/8 mile at the Dixie Dragfest. I couldn't leave at anything above idle or else it would blow the tires away. I made 8-10 attempts at a decent launch and then quit trying.
I'd be curious to see what it would run on slicks mounted on 15 wheels.

There are two things in life where penetration is really important.....and one of them is welding.

Heck Flip your truck looks so cool and those big hoops and rubber bands really suit it, And that sir is a compliement as normal big wheels and little tyres like that only suit late model cars but ,man you have nailed that prefectly. Love the finished paint job too.
