Engler chassis's had some pretty impressive results in the heavy classes at Louisville this year? Would be worth a look if you were serious? |

Little's tractors are Engler. Most (probably 60% or more) of the Prostocks are Engler (as are most DSS). Cain's tractors are Joe Eder Chassis. Fullpull does some really nice work. Ace Chassis also makes a nice product. I'd also take a serious look at Karlen's Motorsports as well, they've made some really nice component tractors for some Prostocks as well as their Light Superstock. Last, but certainly not least would be Jason Hootman, his Light Supers hookup extremely well and he's built some heavier chassis that work extremely well.

That's funny, but yeah that's one of them. H. David wanted to be able to hook anything from 9500 lbs. down to 6000 lbs. Henry told him he had to run the Smoker Series or he wouldn't get his allowance.
To the Original Poster, Rich is another a guy running an Eder Chassis on a Prostock as well as their families DSS. They both seem to work really well and they go straight when his brother Rob's driving. Jake Morgan Owner, PULLOFF.COM Independent Pulling News This page is a free service.

git er done went from a midpack lite super to one of the best in the class with just a chassis change.same engine just a new chassis and it made all the difference. put 1 of terrys motors in that chassis and it would crush the chizek tractors. |

You should be close with a chassis, rear plate, bell housing, drive line and shields, no tranny, no tires, no engine, with sheet metal of choice.
Some variables on what sheet metal, and how finished off it is will vary price some. COO for OTTPA www.outlawpulling.com www.truck-specialties.com Schaeffer Oil Representative [www.schaefferoil.com] |

cost all depends on the components used to build it. the biggest cost swing of a chassis is the rear end. It can vary from aprox 10-30k on its own depending on how crazy you get. The rest of the chassis would be about the same most places15-20k. Sheet metal costs vary also on what body and if any stock hood is used. If you did an all aluminum 1066 body that is on the easier side of ones to do, and all the chassis skins, mounted to the frame, floor, all around the cage and fenders would be aprox 7-12k
That varies what you could do one from 32-62k on the same basic tractor and that is just a start of what is needed |

Thanks for the info above.
I have looked at some chassis (used) and there not really what I want. So by the time I make changes I could buy what I want new. I was going to put the engine together my self so I would take over the build once the chassis was back. I looking at going either Deere 6030 sheet metal or latest 8000 series. |

Im not convinced that there is that much difference in chassis on a pro stock, partly because they still have plenty of front end weight, there are a lot of non engler chassis that still hook and run quite well, heck Shorter won PPL points in 2016 without a full componet chassis. The turbo still has more to do with who will win the pro stock class than the chassis does! |

Re: Component chassis.

no different
|
shorter is an engler chassis. its a tractor rear with no transmission housing so it's build just like a component tractor. |

Does that mean that Shorter's tractor is illegal to pull with NTPA? I thought I remember reading once that no cast could be used in the construction of a component chassis? |
