No, a roadster is a roadster in that class.  I don't know of anyone who has ever run one, and the committee chairman for that class hasn't either.  I couldn't run a real roadster pickup because of the strict rules that says everything has to be factory spec, including length of bed etc.

Is there a pickup class for that type of car? Sounds like you are ready for some more fun in the sun!

Y's guys rule!
Looking for McCullouch VS57 brackets and parts. Also looking for 28 Chrysler series 72 parts. And early Hemi parts.

Hey, Chuck, you know me too well.  I will put something like a bed side for a vertical stabilizer or added sheet metal to satisfy the center of force vs the center of gravity problem in cars spinning.  The mock-up on page 48 was a bit tongue-in-cheek, but there will be something resembling a pick up bed side.

Another thought Charlie. Since all you have raced so far are pickups with the new car have a token bed on it?

I miked the lobe lifts and they were all at spec with the cam card.  I had originally thought the cam had gone flat, but that was not the case.

Miking pistons for new rings.  This time I will use a gapless top ring.  Notice a larger first ring land?  A miss communication with the piston builder resulted in a larger top ring land and now requires a spacer ring.

Getting ready to install the crank.  Only .0005" runout, thanks Tim for some outstanding machine work.

Honing just enough to get a new cross hatch pattern.

It is time to start the re-assembly of the 338 cu. in. turbo Y-Block.

Cleaning the block for a new cylinder cross-hatch and hot tank.

Thanks, Alan.  I will try to post progress as it happens.  I still have the stroker/turbocharged Y-Block to refresh.
