Update 6/7/15
Finally got some time to work on it and take it out to the track at the Jefferson State Diesel rally in Redding California. Ran really good other than the temp sensor fouling up at 3/4 track and shutting it down. Still managed a 13.05 which means it's now a 12 second truck. We...
Hollister Mud Drags and Sled Pulls at the 2010 San Banito County Fair.
I let the wife pull in the SuperCrawler. I might have gotten a little further but I'm proud she did good for her first time ever pulling.
They took 5th and 8th in the pulls and the '62 took first drags.

Looks like you got the OE wheels on. That's probably the problem. These are 4.5 backspacing 10" wide wheels. It set them off perfectly for a max of 37x12.5 tire.
Just finished the rear and sway bar extensions before last weekends event in Redding so all I've had time upload so far is this...
Well this will be my thread for update on the '96 CrewCab Shortbed. I've had an ORU (Off Raod Unlimited) shackle reversal kit for about a year now to add to the Dana 60 in the front but just haven't had time to throw it on yet. So we finally threw it on Monday night and man I should have done...
Update 6/29/10
Well finally am getting some bumpers on this thing for the pull season. Also upgrading to the Garret direct replacement 64MM VGT Turbo. Haven't got to take it out yet, but loading it up right after we put it on it's letting it fuel up a lot more. Took some picks of the BD...
Update 5/15/10 new video
Well pretty disappointed with the new tunes. Lost over 20 HP and went down to 438 RWHP. She put down 450 something in Texas. I really would like to see what my Edge A2 with Platinum and Hot Unlock would do considering I'm running all of the same stuff I ran on the...
Update 5/13/10
Well after trying to run her down the track at Texas I decided to cut the bag pedestals off and mount them under the axles so I could put serious pressure in the bags to stiffen up the rear to hopefully eliminate the body roll. We finished late so I didn't get a chance to double...
lol That's a good one. I actually had an American Citizen do it. That's the sad part. The guy's always done a good job for me but somethings wrong. I don't know seem a lot of people are loosing it lately. I think he's just chasing his tail and bit off more than he can chew, but he'll make...
I don't get it either and I haven't researched it at all. Some say they came that way some say no but since I've owned it I've seen quite a few from the same early 60's era and they are the same way. I don't really care for the other bed style from the 60's F250 4x4s anyways.
UPDATE 4/13/10 Texas
Well that was a rough trip, but well worth it. So it ran well but I have some suspension issues to work out. We mounted the bags wrong and I need to drop them. It only takes 8 PSI for ride height so if I want to stiffen up the rear it jacks the rear way up in...
Update 4/3/10
Figured out another way to mount the reservoirs, got the injectors in, Race FICM by Innovative, and cleaned up the wiring a bit. I am really happy with the way I laid out the setup, cause it only took us a couple hours. The driver side was a little tight but the passenger side...
