Default 86 sled pull?

Hey guys I've always wanted to do a sled pull with my 86 f-250 single cab long bed 4x4 with a banks turbo kit. What classes would I be able to pull in and what type of rules are needed for me to get my truck in to pull a few events thanks guys.

Workstock most likely. You will need a hitch and the entry fee!

Depends on the event usually guys..

we have a lot of "run what ya brung" type pulls.. pull trucks by 1/2 3/4 1ton and turbo diesel class. then they run a modified class for points etc.

so look for an event that has a stock class, and stay away from points events and no worries about classes.

not sure.. I'm in ohio where this is an every few day thing in the summer. look for a local pulling group? maybe do some searching on local/county fair type websites. or find some locals on here.

best way to find the bush pulls is word of mouth or serching for county fairs. at least thats how it is around me here in arkansas.

and ur truck would be a stock class or work stock,
