A quick engine swap, in March 1979. I conveniently got kicked
out of school on a Thursday, so Friday morning I pulled out the 235,
here I am Saturday morning hooking up the transmission to the 396, and
we had it driving that night.
David and I doing some pre-race maintenance, probably tightening the
wheel bearing. I still have that tool box. This was
probably from the summer of 1979, we were at the old AHRA sanctioned Tucson Dragway almost
every weekend that it was open in 1979, 80, and 81.
Ready to go racing!
Making a timed run at the weekly bracket races.
the staging lanes, October 1979. I think the truck is near the
top right of the picture, just this side of the red car. I spent
a lot of time hanging out there.
Staged, ready to go!
Look at it go! that's a quick truck. I think it was in
the low 15s at this stage. During the summer of 1980 we got it
into the low 14s, with 4.56 gears, a bigger cam, open headers, etc.
