I'm particularly interested in the back side with the e-brake bracket position... It's tough getting old and losing your memory... john ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 28 Jun 2000 10:01:35 -0700 (PDT) From: shane san miguel Subject: Re: Truck Pull That'a a sweet picture!!!

I am building a '66 4x4 for pulling. It started off as a Street Stock,but the local officials ruled that safety measures such as scatter shield and shaft loops are not "stock"...so I guess I build a "street legal" Super Stock :-) I'd like more details/help from any and all 4x4 Pullers. Main concern is getting the 4x4 lowered to lessen the knuckle angles. Another topic I'd like is tire type. Most local tracks (N.IL ) are sticky clay when wet , hard as concrete when dry. Does one run All Terrain tires like Kelly Springfield (local manufacture is important to me), or is a more open "Mud Type" better for the sticky goo ? Some guys like traction through bite and others prefer tire speed.

Darrell & Tweety ------------------------------ From: Kevin Kemmerer Subject: Re: Truck Pulling Date: Wed, 28 Jun 2000 15:05:40 -0400 We have had some issues with the safety rules here too. Street trucks with safety features are not bumped up a class though. My truck, is actually a street truck. I don't fit the rules for the NY super stocks, except for their non-points pulls. PA and NJ do not have a class, other than street trucks, and sometimes what is called street modified. We are working on getting a single consistant class all over, like a super stock class. We finally, just this year got some places to change to a 5800, and 6200 lb weight class. Classes used to be broken up into big block and small block. As for tires, we are also allowed pulling tires and cut tires almost everywhere now. For street tires, the BFG all terrains are the best I have ever used for almost all tracks. Just remember that getting more traction means better chance of breaking parts. I'm looking for some Cepek giant pullers used, but I know with that kind of traction, I need more power, and most likely will be breaking parts. Personally, I feel that traction, and tire speed are needed. Increasing either can help, as long as you have the power to turn the tires faster. Good traction is needed to get out of the hole and speed the sled up as fast as possible and keep pulling. The faster the sled is moving, the more distance it will go under it's own momentum once the truck can't pull it any more. Therefore high tire speed is needed to give the sled a high momentum. Did that make sense? Oh, one more thing about tires. If you can find a set of Goodyrear Terra tires, get them. They are not sold anymore with a DOT number, but if you can get the older DOT tires if you need them, or if you can run non DOT tires, new ones, they work very well. Running the backwards on some tracks gives even better bite too. I have a set of these, though they are cut. They do work very well.
