Default Pulling Chassis

Hi this is the first forum I have been in. I am building a modified diesel pulling truck. Would like to know what everybody thinks and if there are any suggestions.

Don't know much about it, but it looks good. I think if I were to build one, I'd consider using square tube... Any reason you went with round?

Thanks, all the chassis i build are out of d.o.m tube i think it's stronger and looks better and is 1/2 the price of crome this puller will have quite a lot of power a little work to meet the 7500 lb max weight , We will be building all the brackets in a week or so. I want to let everybody see this build there is not much on web for these trucks. p.s MERRY CHRISTMAS

Hi I haven't done anything on the chassis in a week. I have other projects in the shop. I don't really have the room to get a good side picture. I took a couple pictures of the bearings for the rear axle and will be machining the adapter block to weld on the axle. I took some pictures of the turbos. The small one is a stock Dodge HX-35W. The next size up is a TVR-85 and then an HX-82. We are planning on running two TVR-85's with ball bearing cartridge, 360 degree thrust washer and billet wheel and one HX-82 with a 4.3 billet wheel and if that is not enough we are just going to run three HX-82's, one with a 4.7 and the other two with a 4.0 billet wheel. Also just got the aluminum plate for rear motor mount and drop box mount. I still need to cut out all the extra gussets and decide on the hitch design. Tell me what you think...
