Traction ideas???

Not an a body. My '67 short bed step side. I have homemade caltracs (caltrucks?), stock type shocks front and rear, 4.57 8.75 , and 31/10.5/15 regular tires. I know I will need some drag radials, but can't get any yet. Same with the shocks.

I do have a set of 29" slicks that aren't mounted yet.

This has the stock straight axle in front, and it is staying.

I am open to suggestions, especially lo buck, for hooking this thing up.

Are there any gasser guys on here? What do you think about removing the front axle's leaf spring clamps to help weight transfer? I removed the ones on the back of the rear leaves already.

Also, I messed up and adjusted my caltrucks while the bed was off, and so they are both preloaded now that the bed is on. I think I will try putting just a tad of slack in them.

The battery is in the back right corner of the bed, and I put a fuel cell under the bed just behind the rear axle. Heavy 78 lbs rear bumper.

Help!!!
