We started out with the 6 speed stock transmission. After a few races we change over to the TB 400. Here is a pic of the shifter that we are using.

Our truck is all most all bolt on stuff of the self. We have race over 1000 miles with it and finished 4th at the Mint 400 in class 7200 with out breaking any of the Suspension parts in that 1000 miles. We are about $24,089.00 into parts. The truck is still street legal all we have to do is install the front windshield. Here is a break down on the major parts. The only thing that is not listed is the new Transmission that we just installed in the truck. We are into it around $4000.00. There are many places to cut out cost in this build like seats, fuel cell, & Radio.

1. The front Long Travel kit $ 5439.00

2. The rear suspension spring-under rear Long
Travel conversion was $2800.00

3. Rear 9” axle was $3500.00

4. The front one- piece hood $1075.00

5. The rear bed-sides $550.00


6. The fuel cell $ 2500.00

7. The seats $4000.00

8. Race radio $1200.00

9. GPS $800.00

10. Wheels and tires $2500.00

11. Tubing $800.00


Total $24,089.00

Where did you get the wheels and tires? I remember selling a set just like that to some guys for a tacoma race truck, wouldn't be the same truck is it?
