In the market for a 12 valve project pulling truck
 

Well, I have been on Craigslist searching, and searching for a 12 valve project truck. I found a few, know I own a 99 24v I know it inside and out. But what should I be looking for when I am looking into getting 12v. I know all about the KDP, and other issues they have. One thing I will never do is purchase an automatic. I have seen it's really easy to find a 5 Speed 12v. But can ya'll give me a little insight on what I should be looking for. My 99 is my farm truck, use it for hauling hay, work around the farm an other jobs I stumble across. But with my next truck, I am wanting to go all out an build a pulling truck. Should I go reg cab route, or would it really matter. I just want some info from the guys, who do pulls. Much input would be greatly appreciated. Thanks ya'll! Here are some pics of the trucks I've been eye bawlin'

95 2500 4x4 Guy said make an offer.

No insight from anyone? 101 views and no thoughts. Pathetic.:bat::dang:

i like my puller but its a auto tranny. :hellox:

man there is so many things to consider when building such a toy and open ended question like yours is very difficult to answer for you.

what class
how much hp
what style charger
injectors
pump work
transmission mods
driveline mods
wheelbase
tire size and tread design
what kind of tracks will you be running on
ect ect ect

give us something to go on man.

I'm new to the pulling world. I've been wanting to get into it. Just trying to find a starting place an go from there. What classes are there?:humm:

dont know what sanctioning body is there in Tennessee, here in Texas its the TTTPA here is their page that explains about the different truck classes. rules
