You can DD but I would still call it a drag truck. Cage, 4 link, no reason to spend all those $1000s for the street. Thus "drag truck" it is.

So what your saying is that any truck with a 4-link isn't a street truck???. Bagged trucks use a 4-link, and ones done right probably cost just as much. Does that mean bagged trucks aren't street trucks???

No need to spend all those $1000s on stroker motors and FI for street either, yet we do and there are several of those that get driven everyday. If you think spending $1000.00's on a truck takes away from its street credibility, then who on this site has a street truck anymore? Not many.

Yes, lighter, stronger and simpler.

I guess I am an idiot. Truck is sweet and not putting it down by calling it a drag truck. When something is purpose built that means it is built for a purpose. A cage is for one main purpose, the DS loop is for safety and passing tech at a track, the 4 link's main purpose is for zero wheel hop. Seems to be built for the drag strip to me!

Again love the truck and all the work being done. If it looks like $hit, smells like $hit, .... must be THE ****!

If it where mine i would be driven everyday. The way people drive these days we all need a cage! Just my 2 cents. I love what you are doing with this truck, can't wait to see it finished. Good Luck Dude.

You're still an idiot...I don't know the guy personally, but if he's anything like me, this truck would see the street more than the track...And you need all the help you can get on the street

I don't think anyone said Track truck. Drag truck to me implies that it is well built for drag racing. I would drive the truck every day if I needed or wanted to. It is a sweet truck and I love everything about it.
