It was always a race for second place when MC was riding Red in his prime! Man was he fast and effortless... Seemed like no one could touch him!

You must have this confused with the "Your 10 Favorite Off-Road Racers" list. Shouldn't this be about what they have accomplished?

Ol' Curmudgeon - July 15th, 2009 11:41 View Conversation

Sorry, no pics. I might have something in a 60's HOT ROD mag, but it's too hot to go look outside the A/C. I was just a mere prat, but I seem to recall a guy in Riverside that had a 2WD Jimmy from the same era as the red Hickey truck. It also supposedly had a lead filled pipe (they didn't call something with that big an OD tubing) for a back bumper and traction aid.

I wonder if any of the later 292's in the UPS trucks had FI?
Ol' Curmudgeon - July 15th, 2009 10:35 View Conversation

"I think it is the first inline 6 front engine truck that I know of." Maybe for 7200, but I'll bet the elder Mr. Hall can recall folks running the good old GMC 292. Punched out to 312, they made some hp and PLENTY of torque.
DezertQuad43 - January 8th, 2009 21:18 View Conversation

Ive been running Pro Quad with Vorraq over the last two years, and at the last race i saw you did custom fab. Im looking to built a desert bumper for the quad, sort of a hoop style that you might see on a class one. Can you give a rough estimate of you prices for building that?
