Wish we could make it in ours but my dad is headed to daytona for the race and the bucket needs a lil work. Everytime we take it out we have to fix something. Have yall had issues with the steering box ripping off the frame? Our other issue with it is its finicky mallory ignitiin system. Usedls a laser instead of a rotor and we seem to go through the lasers on a regular and theyre not cheap.

I know of a guy local to me that a lot of problems with his Mallory ignition and dist, for me it's either stock HEI of MSD.

Ours is bolted to a 1/2" plate that is welded to the frame and it keeps ripping the welds off the frame, about every 2 years anyways.

Ours has a nice triangle brace holding it there and all of it is welded to the frame- so far so good

Man yall been drivin. I did a 2900 mile road trip last week with the wife and 2 kids. Im betting yours is alot more relaxing. Lol

Lol thanks man, were on the way back now, it turned out to be just shy of 1300 one way. Were 500 miles into the return trip- so far it needed a new upper radiator clamp and wipers got stuck once- otherwise its been as nice as can be- the way back we took a flatter root- cutting through ohio instead of ky so we put it in od- around 10 mpg at 60 with an 3100 lb trailer/car load, 500lbs of tools in the bed, and a heavy foot im happy its going so easy

And were home, 2513 miles later, my truck was a trooper the whole way, the only thing to fail was the upper radiator hose clamp on the way out and wipers bound up once, otherwise it was great
