Can't even mention how cheap I got this for, always wanted one of these when I was a kid
fascinating rear end--still have the original VGC body--and new OEM rear tires here tomorrow
But, can anyone tell me why the bellcranks are different (one white/one black) is this normal??

Nice find for sure mate, you have a really early model there: no slot for the servo saver (obviously the reason why the left hand steering post has been replaced with a Jrx-2 soft one that acts as a servo-saver, but is very fragile), early style battery cup and 5-link posts with no rib...
Keep us posted!

So do I leave the whit/black bellcranks as they are or is the white one an add on?
BTW just got the rear tires, have more complete pics later tonight

there were lots of variations of the steering bellcranks

I've never seen them mixed from the factory, but anything is possible.
I do have a set of "truck" cranks that are white. Is your one white arm solid plastic, or does it have a metal lining where it mounts to the aluminum post?

No metal liner, just plastic--but the truck came to me with 1 incorrect tierod on the black
side, so it was prob busted at one point. So, on an early truck like this---what color is
correct???? & does anyone have a set they would like to let go???
BTW thanks to both of you for the info

looks good. The last unpainted body(the only one I've seen nip) that sold on ebay was about a year ago and want for $120.
Decals do come up more often, though usually as part of a bigger auction.
I haven't been to walts in ages.

Grew up racing there, that dirty banked carpet track & that polished concrete excuse for a
dirt oval (not to mention the sandy outdoor track) is the ONLY reason I'm a sponsored driver
today---versitality---if you could be fast there, watch out everywhere else!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
One of my best friends (Eddie Edwards) or Todd Ferguson still runs the day to day there
Truly a great place
