HD Fabrications diesel drag truck - YouTube



Well as much as I hate to get rid of my drag truck, I would like to take on a project or hobby so I can spend more time with the family. I had the truck out once this year, and ZERO times last year and it's time to move on.

Let's start out on what it is.. Well it may look like a Dodge "NAS Truck" but it is actually based on a G body car, and was originally built as a dirt track truck. The body is a combination of ABS plastic front and rear bumpers, aluminum skin, and fiberglass top. Last time it was scaled it was right at 3,200 with me in it I believe. The motor is a 197.XXX mile truck motor with head studs, and a very mild gasket match on the exhaust. The Pump is a 215 that was built by a local shop with a 5k gov kit, and has stock DVs. The injectors are 5x18s that were just gone through by SDX but are not theirs, and also have one pass on them. The single turbo is a S400 base, and I believe it is a 66/74 and was built by John at Majestic Turbo in TX and also has one pass. (I can get all the turbo build info). It is backed by a TH400 tranny, and a GV overdrive. The tranny has a billet input and drum, ArtCarr TC, and a Hughes manual valve body with trans brake. The rear end is a full floater 9in with full spool, 35 spline axles, and a 3.42 pro gear in a Strange carrier. I have been leaving the line between 40 and 55 psi boosted launches, and leaves strait and level every time. I have had trouble with the trans since I started, but not because it is a th400 but because I have only fixed what has broke and not "built" the tranny. . The truck is still in the white primer that all the panels were shipped with, and other than mounting the hood, and a little body work its ready to be wrapped or painted with your logo or design. There is WAY more left in the truck for someone who has the time and money to spend on it. I have had a blast with the truck, but going out and making two or three passes, and then not taking it out again for a month or two, or a year makes for a LOOOOONG tuning process! I should have the transmission back from my builder this week, and I am going to try and take it out this weekend for some passes so I can post up to date pictures, video, and stats. The quickest the truck has been is 10.10@131 with the small pump and small turbo, and I really, really hope that with the new FASS that was just installed, and everything being gone through I can do better if the tranny will just stay together!


OK, down to brass tax...

If it was sold outright I am looking at $18,500 OBO
Or I might be interested in trading for a very nice pontoon boat, or some sort of pleasure/tuna boat. (only interested in tuna boat if it comes with necessary equipment to make fish tacos )

Or trade for..????? Clean Dodge diesel? I have extra tranny, 12v, pump, and misc parts that can go with the truck also if the price is right. Also might be interested in selling it as a roller so that I can keep my motor, tranny, and OD for another project in the future.

I have some misc videos on YouTube under toolmanoffroad, and I will see about posting some more pictures as I can. Send PM or post up questions here... Thanks guys
