Raceco Truck

[charlie_brown]

Sorry Charlie, the Letner truck was built by Mike Smith, then Robby got Smith to build him the "La Victoria" Ranger. The Ragland S-10 was built very differently than letners and Robbys.

i/we must be thinking of different trucks because i live 2 blocks where the truck i am talking about and went in to the shop several times while it was being built and i never saw MS their but clive was there every time and the guy i talked to. larrys truck was the one with "straps" for spings if i remember right.

Yes, Larry's had the straps on the suspension. Mike Smith actually used the blueprint drawing of the Letner truck in his business ad back in the day, think it was used in Dusty times. Also, all of the shocks on RG's Ranger were Mike Smith shocks. The only other trucks that I know of that Clive built would be the class 7 S-10 Larry drove (General tire truck), and also a Pikes Peak truck, along with the class 2 truck with the straps.....maybe I'm missing one somewhere.

Clive also built a short course 4wd truck for Jack Flannery.

OK, this is for Dana, Mike, Mike and his other brother Mike - HAHA!

Going through some archives last night and remembered this thread, so I fired up the flatbed scanner. Attached are pics of the Letner and Jackson trucks. Letner is from the '91 Parker 400 and Jackson (Castex) is from the '94 Fireworks 250 contingency and race.

Enjoy!

Does anybody know anything about this truck? Who the original owner was? It looks close to the truck that Letner's had, but it has been a long time since I have seen it. Any help would be appreciated!

It looks like I will have to pass on this truck,the moter is locked up looks like water got into the cyl and with water in the oil it is just to much for me to take on at this point. If anyone is looking for a project like this PM me and I will try to get you hooked up on this part of offroad history.

Is that Kenny Powers in the Chevy Thunder shirt?

Wrong Mike... Mike. That would be the Castex Truck. which was purchaced by yet another Mike in Vegas(don't remember his last name). The chassis was originally built by Dan Mathews @ Raceco. The suspension was later updated by myself @ Raceco.

The chassis was sold to Scott Smith.

Scott Smith never done anything with it, it was sold again and was sitting in a farmers equipment yard in Gooding, ID the last I knew.
