Your basic 468 hyd cam, cast iron heads, TH400, 4.10 12 bolt. If I remember right, when he had MT ET streets, he ran in the 11.30's.

I think the fronts are 10" and the rears are 12" wide. No its a Chevy Kodiak 4500. Runs low 17's.

Don't know the brand, but has tubular control arms up front and stock leafs in the back that is mini-tubbed. I had built some "Cal-Tracs" for my 68 Bird and gave them to him when I went with coil overs and ladder bars. He as 4 wheel dual piston caliper disc brakes. I think they are 13" in front and 12" in back.
