I was wonderin since the 89 is a 4wd, how one would handle lowered, with better sway bars and gas shocks?...probably fantastic! I am thinkin a 360 warmed over, and about 235/60 tires....3.73 gears I just wish it was a shortbed. I already located a good transfer case for it.but I am gonna swap cabs between the 83 shortbed and the 89 4wd, cause I really want all the creature features...from the factory. I want the 4wd to be more of a good handling different angle toy.

I don't know if y'all checked out the ad that Bzzzzz had on the truck parts for sale awhile back, but we struck a deal on the parts truck he had for sale...is a shortbed (84 I think)...has a/market lowered lower control arms,and some very useable body parts...truck is wrecked...rearended...no engine/trans so I guess there will be more parts and pieces shuffled into the 'ol 84 driver, like the arms, and the pass side door I need..if the chassis isnt bent too badly, I will use it too eventually. Right now I have so many projects lined up I will be an ancient goat by the time I am done with em all...Oh well, I live for it! Looks like a trip to Kansas is in order in two weeks!!!!...a Moparts friend is goin with me,if he can! still think the truck smiley would be a welcome addition to all....

I cant say I know of many Dodge Truck TRAILER QUEENS!...and the ones that are get towed by a TRUCK....Most of the guys I know that race em drive em to and from the races...under their own power. So I still don't understand what the problem with a smiley is...

You know, your right, our club has been putting shows on for a long time and i never thought about it, but yes, almost every truck that attends, even if its racing, drives itself there----obviously there are a few exceptions----such as this blown big block tube chassis stepside that comes to our show---and runs 8's

Just an observation, not to say there is anything wrong with a true show or race truck ON a trailer. Bill

When I was in Amarillo, the track was about 10 miles away....and I could get there on mostly backroads...if I wanted to. Lubbock is a much better track, and is 100 miles or so from Amarillo.....never raced there. Bill
