Wheres Rods truck?? I know he has one- I sold him a NIP shell

What up Reggie!

Yes, this is a new chassis and nose plate. Some quality satin black paint would probablylook pretty good though, if you don't want to spring for a new chassis.

2wd stadium truck class might be dead in the racing scene but a good clean quality GT will always be on the first page

Thanks guys. Been getting the bug a little lately. Even snagged a few little gems on Ebay lately.

Long live Bayside!

Reminds me of the softball team we had in 1994 (prior to an easy internet search) the Bayside Tigers. Everyone scratched their heads thinking "That sounds familiar". The next year we (to this day) became the Gashaus Gorillas. I often took one of my GTs to games and shredded the parking lot prior to games.

Definitely ran my share of bases...with the gt . Would take a 'break' from the hard day of work and run over to the closest ball diamond and race the bases with one of the guys who worked for me that I got hooked on gt fumes.

I noticed the link went 404 after I posted that. I thought about editing it, but felt it best to still pay due homage.

Well guys, I tried to get ahold of Dave, but all I am getting it's a message from Verizon saying the number cannot be completed as dialed. It it's the same number I have always had for him, and the number he used to call me from last. I don't know what it's going on, but I will keep trying.I will let you guys know if I hear anything.

I snagged this off of the bay Friday. This will be a donor truck. The CZ-R is perfect for this truck, and it has the plated brake cam that this truck is missing.

The bottom of this one is pretty trashed, but other than that it looks like most of it will clean up pretty good. It should make a nice cache of parts for other projects I have in the works.

I am also thinking that, since I haven't found any gold shocks for this truck, I might just go ahead and give it the full team truck treatment. At this point all that's left is the universals anyway.

I saw that truck and thought it was a pretty good price. Maybe I'm wrong but isn't that a CZ-Z not an R.

I also have a full brand new set of gold shocks if you are interested. I like the team truck look better, never liked the gold shocks with the black tubs.

CZ-Z blue head (much better cooling)

CZ-R had vertical cooling fins

Completely different besides heads. Different porting, rod, crankcase, and piston if I remember. I have both just can't remember all the details.
Wasn't sure if maybe it was just a Z head on an R

If I remember the crank are the same, transfer ports in the the crankcase were different and beefed up. I think the conrod was beefed up as well as improved lube hole. better porting on the cylinder. I could be wrong as I'm going off of a cobweb memory!
