Amazing what will happen when you get rid of those taxi cab gears

of many possible puzzles. lol

traction has me worried...... I have drag radials for it, but it only has a stock 318 and a tight, low-stall truck converter. More converter and more engine... yikes !Nice ! one more piece to the puzzle .
Did you get rained out today for going to the track?
The leaf springs are probably a little much. maybe remove a leaf and get a decent shock.
I think they were able to race, but it wasn't in my cards to make it today
or add a few sand bags you sandbagger. lol
but you don't need the added weight.
The truck needs weight transfer.

Yes, I have a whole, new learning curve with hooking up a truck
Nice, fun truck! Now that I have a ’74 W200 done all tricked out, I’d love to have a 3/4 ton 2 wheel drive.
Plymouth 65
I'll be in the shop
That truck gets it, well done! Great videos too! 65'
Just put um right up against the tailgate. Make "something" that will keep them in place.
Manual steering... LOL. fish tailing, and a sticky caliper on the passenger side..
Get the steering wheel straight, dummy. lol
was straight till I swapped to manual steering..... I got to have something that's irritating when folks watch my videos

sorry forgot to hit the like button...123. cant wait see what it does at the track.
oh, just thought it was worth mentioning...... Food for Thought...
- It is often said, stock 318 heads with factory stock valve springs will have valve float around 4500 - 4800 rpms. Engine also has stock cam, actually everything is on the engine is stock except the 4bbl set up and headers. The second burnout in the video @ 2 min 42 seconds of the video is 6,000 rpms. I shift this truck at 5000 rpms, but it will definitely turn more but 5k is where the "sweet spot" seems to be.
