Notes: Well, to introduce ourselves, we are Odos and Brenda Tucker and we own Tucker's Tree Service in Noble, OK. We own a '78 Chevy Luv truck that is unlike any other. The Pink Panther is holding a husqvarna on both rear quarter panels as well as on the tailgate. It is a very eye catching fushia color, with baby pink and dark blue pinstripes down the side. It's had the name Pink Panther for a while. It is a Little M Dart 406, Dart pro 1 heads, 208 with a 160. All scat rods...13 to 1 compression....Jessell Rockers and dyno'd at 589.9. Set up to run C16, has 500 shot NX system, 400 reverse tranny with brake built by Wilson's Transmission in OKC, Ok. It is a Boyd Racing Engine, built by Louis Boyd in Norman, Ok. Back-half truck has 10 Pt. roll cage, 5 Pt. buckets, reverse shift-pattern with brake, 950 Quickfuel Carb, all Mallory ignition and an MSD 6AL box. Has been 9.30's before complete overhaul. It has an 8 3/4 strange rear-end. Has 16x31x14 Goodyear Eagle Slicks and Hoosiers on the front. This truck is very unique. It's NHRA cert. for 8.50 but would be cert. for 7.50 with a funny car halo installed. Should run 9 flat on motor alone. Brand new and has never been raced. Ran twice on the dyno and made one pass down the truck. It also includes the full interior.... |
