"Stubby" My 10 second Street/drag truck build

[jlbayes]

Yet Matt G killed 2 somehow. I know in pulling they will not last at all and I wouldn't even try it.

Matts killed odd parts most don't.

Snagged my friends old head and intake off his pulling truck. Should work nice.

Well went to some dirt drags this weekend just to play.

That is a mean looking setup. Whay were your times at the drags?

Crappy set of paddles I borrowed. Needed bigger diggers. Only got 2 passes fastes was 4.5. Pretty slow. Was fun to try. Post videos once they load.

Anyone have real world personal experience how far you can push the 70. I've heard extreamly different experiences.

Mines been functioning in my one ton drag truck since 2005 flawlessly.. 1200hp on a 33x17x15 slick.

Anything done to it? Spool? Aftermarket axles? Mine is LS.

Looks fun. I'm glad this truck stayed on compd.

I've been abusing my 70 in my 4wd truck for years. Never had an issue but I've only hooked to the sled a few times.

Dirt drags are fun but a 2wd truck would be tough to compete with unless you have your own class

Buddy Matt did way better and almost won but he had super scoops and much more HP.

Can't you just restack the factory clutch plates in the rear? Maybe stick an ARB in the back?

Right now it works good. Matt has the other short box and he killed like 3 70s so gave up and that was only at like 600hp. He put an 80 in. His weak point was the spider gears would grenade. Id like the 70 as it's lighter but no one makes a spool for one. I'm planning on a 9" once I back half it but that will probably be next winters project so want to make the 70 work for now.

Might just stick my C&C 80 in it so I can tuck tires a little better and not worry about it.

Lincoln locked with disc brake conversion r&p is set up a little tight...

I was thinking about welding it since the spiders were the issue. Disc break was my next thought.

I blew the spiders on a D80 on the first hook. The open spiders are decent, the posi spiders are very problematic.

That's why I'd like a spool or weld it. Curious if anyone makes a disc brake conversion for the C&C

What size wheel can you find in 8 lug to run that tire?

Best bet would be to buy a wheel shell and have a center welded in at the backspacing you need

Haven't been able to find a place to do something like that. Where do I start?
