Well I know that Jeff knows everyone. I am familiar with some of you. I figured we should have a thread that lets people know who you are and what you drive. Then we won't be "Strangers" and maybe talk a little at the events where we may run into each other. So here is my rig, 1978 Chevy. Made from all parts from the big 3. BBC, th400, modified divorce 205(dodge), dodge 60 with 70 outers, 14t rear. Ford shafts - 1410 super poopies. Removed interior. 6 pt cage. Ford windstar cooling fans. Trans cooler, 35" boggers. later jenks

My Name is Kenneth Wilcox, part of the team is my two brother, Don and James. In total there are about 6 trucks that come out of a garage but only three are our trucks. Well I dont have any pictures of mine yet (still in the shop being put together). But my truck is a 1988 Ford F-150 Long Bed, C-6 Auto, 3.5 Gears Front and Back (as of right now), 38" Boggers and 38" Buckshots, Big Block Ford. Don's truck is a 1988 Ford F-150 Short Bed, C-6 Auto, 3.5 Gears Front and Back, 38" Boggers, SMALL BLOCK Ford. An the 0third truck in the works is James, 1989 Ford Bronco, 33" Buckshots, Small Block Ford. And if money works out....I will have another Big Block Truck later this year.

Great Idea, I'm Jed Frederick been racing since 2002 have had many truck, get bored with them and sell them. The last couple of years I have been running a mostly brown short Bed Chevy with a flat bed. I finishing up a different Full size Chevy short box with SBC, Th350 and 208. and if the money works out I will have an S10 out later this year. I normally run Miles, Ia. and try to make it to Iron Hores, and Gussies a few times. Ran one of Peoria bogs last year manged to bent my frame on that one.

Thanks for posting Jed, Kenneth & Richard!! I'm Jeffro I bounce around in a 79 F350 with a School bus motor in it. It's a smoking 71 production big block bored .030. It has Dove heads and a vacuum cam that used to pull 17 inches but now it's down to 16 on a good day. It's a non-gutted, full glassed,power steering and alternatored truck with lights! We race Illinois, Iowa, Missouri, and Indiana. Both Bogs and Drags. The bogs have been been kind of hard on it as it don't measure up right anymore when I'm adding stuff like replacing ripped out cross members and such! We race 38.5 & 39.5 tire classes. I think I've met everyone so far in person except Kenneth. Hope we can all get together and race somewhere this year!

Kenneth most of our fun is seeing different tracks and meeting new people!! You sure have a lot of truck out of your garage! Bet it keeps you busy!! Are they dual purpose street/race trucks or designated race trucks?
Both big block and small block's? That'd be hard keeping up with all of that. Guess that way there is no ford that your not used to working on!!!
Lets see an old picture if you have one!!

Well its not MY garage, its one of the other guys garage, but ya its a mess around there during the summer time. haha We've had 4 trucks being worked on at once. James and Dons (small blocks) could be ran on the street but we only use them to race (no need for us to have tags and insurance for them most tracks down here dont require it, so why keep it.) We run both big blocks and small blocks, but Dons small block will put a hurting on some BBC and BBF. My big block isnt streetable and pretty much everything else is streetable. Yeah we have a large selection of fords engine to work with. I currently have a old 330 & 360 laying around our garage.

jeff, The one in the garage is the first day it was loaded on the trailer last year...... when it still looked good. The other was taken at gussies mid season last year. Still looking decent. It is getting a small make over as far as visually. I am ditching the snorkel at the moment to try a different setup to see if it makes any difference. Here is the old set up, which I may go back to. The steering is no longer an issue. All fixed. Now have crossover and hydraulic assist. Its like driving a caddie ;D WARNING: TOP SECRET CONTENT!!!!! SHHHHHGlad you guys like the idea. Scrounge around find some pics or take some if you can. I can see the BS is already starting.....lmao here is a vid. Not mine, somebody else took it. www.youtube.com/user/chasjack8408#p/u/141/FyDXG9Jmz2clater jenks

Aaron Awesome pass!! That was straight and fast no momentum loss at all, just kept digging!! I hadn't seen that one before!!
I sure like your engine. One of the prettiest I've seen!!! Top notch everything!
That is one awesome snorkel!! I know I asked you before, but where did you get it?
Kenneth do you race with Mike Smith & Jason Hoskins? I know they have both been on here but don't remember if you guys knew each other or not?
