jakdad Posted June 14, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 14, 2008 I believe that is a truck hub, but not 3/4 ton floater from a rear truck axle. I remember some of the guys running the Buick hubs due to being larger and having finned brake drums. Oops, I'm dating myself again..........................

RETrott Posted June 14, 2008 Report Share Posted June 14, 2008 Hopefully you have never been stood up. As for those hubs, they were a little heavy and more than needed in some cases. If you notice Mel Newkirk's #2 Bronco from '66 that began as a Late Model, the RF is a front 3/4 ton that held up fine. I probably should have kept and used it.

alttuede Posted June 21, 2008 Report Share Posted June 21, 2008 Not to be argumentitive , but that last car is NOT a nascar modified...it may be a Grand Am nascar mod , but not the beauties i grew up with here is a 2007 NASCAR Modified Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mfbarnes Posted June 21, 2008 Report Share Posted June 21, 2008 I am well aware that the latter car isn't a NASCAR Modified, I was merely pointing out that Buzzie is still out there weekly turning left at East Bay. The earlier picture is Buzzie in '62 by his NASCAR Sportsman-Modified Stock Car. That car was originally driven by Emil "Sr". I talked to Buzz at the Snowball last year, and asked him how many features had he won over the years, he said he quit counting around 700. Buzzie like Red Farmer are the real salt of the earth. And can still get it done by any standard. Just like seeing guys our age still out there, huh Jim. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alttuede Posted June 22, 2008 Report Share Posted June 22, 2008 lol ok , just wanted to set the record straight...only because when the Haglunds ran SAS they advertised that they ran NASCAR Mods for a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
