Ever since I was a teenager I've been fantasizing about a 1956 GMC Drag racing truck with a 454 and a th400. It doesn't help that I recently watched American Graffiti.

I'm wondering if anyone out there has a drag racing truck? Any photos or storys about it?

Iam have a 1964 C10 with a 385 stroker and a NOS cheater system it is putting out about 650 hp with the nitrous and about 425 without the juice. I put a T-56 six speed trans in it for the highway cruise and a 4.56 gear in a 12 bolt posi rear end. I also put all viper internals into the trans to handle the torque of the stroker.

How about a fellow up in Canada last year was selling a 46 Chev 1/2 ton with a 426 blown D--ge hemi, I have pictures somewhere on file.Had it all fixed up real nice but I think it was a trailer queen just for shows as the interior was all done up for luxury.

Page 39 of my Chevs of the 40's catalog has a picture of a 1940 1/2 ton dragster owned by David Watkins, Oregon. Looks like a big blower drive sticking out drivers side of hood. Don't expect my 40 to turn out that wild.

Ah yes. Les Shockley and his two crazy sons. Very entertaining TLC series.
