Yeah the one I built here was a test bed for me.. to see how the truck reacted and rode with that much power. It felt like a stock factory built truck until you mashed the pedal. I didn't build it to sell . I was going to buy back my old fox but that fell through and I'd already sold the truck. So..I'll build another one except with a blown 331.
These little trucks you can tuck a 315/35/17 on the rear with stock suspension. It's what I had on the this truck. 17x10.5 wheels. A 17x11 also tucks in the rear(not sticking past the bed)
But yeah, I'll be adding some cross bracing for sure.. just for the track and sticky tires. Buddy of mine has a bone stock frame(no bracing) and he runs 11's .It's an automatic. Little less harsh then a manual truck on the suspension.
Goal with the newer build will be to have a 10 second daily driver with ice cold ac.
