Sir. A great write-up that peaked my interest quite a bit, to include "over 100 AD trucks registered". How many of those trucks would you say had stovebolt sixes in them, either 216s 235s, or 261s? Why? 100 ADs at an event in TN is impressive but 80%, or even 50% having vintage powerplants would even be more impressive. Please tell us? Thanks TUT. V/r, Nick
Well Nick, first off thanks for the interest
, I would love to tell you that 80 or 90 of the trucks had the old in line sixes, that would of course be an outright lie. As of my last count on Saturday there were 7 trucks with Stovebolt's still under the hoods. There were only a few that didn't have many modifications to the motors and drive train, it seems to be the norm that the first thing changed is the engine. Many of the trucks were swapped to LS engines while more than a few had the old standby SBC. What I did find encouraging was that most of the trucks were driven to the show, very few Trailer Queens.
Either way it was a great show. I'm already working with Dave on next years event.
