Specifically a second gen extended cab? Just curious if anyone is doing this with any sort of success? I am not talking pro stock truck type I am talking a production version, all 131" of wheelbase kind? If so would love to hear some details. About to give up on the PST dream but maybe a production version could work...

Andy Chapman has one of the old McCormick factory V6 stockers that he bracket races. I'm sure he has some insights on what worked and what didn't.
It may be ugly, but it sure is slow.

Wife of some guy in Oregon has a blue one that races here occasionally. It's in Super Pro and sits about 3 inches off the ground. Nice looking truck. Dennis and Judy Radford.......

But that is am Ex Pro stock truck. Something I have looked for for a long time and at this point decided it aint gonna happen so next best thing, albeit quite a bit larger is a stock bodied one. FWIW the PST stuff is 125" wheelbase and the truck they have is one of the very early ones.

Talked to him last week. My "issue" is and reason for an extended cab is being 6'3" tall and wanting to have room. One reason I also got a B body. Ive gone fast for a few years time to get back to having fun and bracket racing

More of a bottom bulb/NSS deal really. Still looking for a top bulb/super class/bracket deal Al, so you have decided against a Super Stock car?

There was one but it got sold out from under me..As in I was on my way to get it and they said sold it over the phone site unseen. There is a Stratus SS car out there but I would have to spend money moving a fair number of tubes for it to work. Maybe the racing gods telling me I dont need to be there. Like the TS experiment the last few years, just not where I belong. So I think I will just go back to bracket and super class stuff. But looking for something different I think.
