My favorite Duster

[C Body Bob]

Ex Butch Leals "California Flash" Duster when Roy Hill raced it. Powered by a Petty Enterprises Hemi. Note the car # 243.

Very cool, best use for a a body make a drag car out of it that's what I have done to every one I have owned or at least wanted to.

 

[C Body Bob]

I agree. Pro Stock Duster where just plain cool. I wish I had time to make some of the nostalgia events. Current champ is a Duster. He won it over a R/M Camaro

Had me a 340 Duster once. Bad little mo fo.

 

[C Body Bob]

Yes they where. When I was in high school I had a decent 350 Rocket Olds. I jumped on a Yellow 340 Duster one day. This dude was gone in 6 seconds. He didn't need 60

Just running down the road this morning after getting loaded, started hearing a thumping sound, above 45 mph said to myself that sounds just like the last time the rear end went out, but t only has 80,000+ mi has to be the rear rear I have never changed it. Dropped my trailer on the side of the road bobtailed home jumped out and took a sample on each rear while hot and stirred up sure enough front rear had the metallic shine to the oil. Pisses me off because the warranty is timed and with a year and a half changing it over to a electronic engine its well out. Good news is I found a set of 3.70 instead of my 3.42 help me go up hills better but I will lose my 90+ mph. Get this thing back on the road and I need to start looking for a cut off with Eaton rears and leave these Rock wells for the Volvo/Frieghtliner guys. LoL.

That really sucks. At least you know how to fix it yourself.

It looks like your rig has a trac lock posi.

 

[70bigblockdodge]

No straight open, they have to close that in and put 4 pinions because there are company drivers out there LOL.

 

[commando1]

but I will lose my 90+ mph

Don't think for one second that you could slip that past me.

because there are company drivers out there

Nor that.
