JENSSEN Posted April 14, 2012 Share Posted April 14, 2012 Anyone know if any of the old race Comanches survived? I have seen a lot of old stock photos of the race trucks but nothing recent,.. I am curious how many we're built, buy who and where they are now. Love to know more specs on the mods they did to them as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Automan2164 Posted April 14, 2012 Share Posted April 14, 2012 WorldsFastestComanche Pete might have some info on them. IIRC, he has the crank from one of the trophy trucks to use in the Land Speed Record Truck. They destroked the 4.0L to 3.0L's so they could get that high wound power out of them...

ComancheKid45 Posted April 14, 2012 Share Posted April 14, 2012 Idk if any exist still besides the 1 Archer Brothers truck in the Chrysler museum. Id love too see 1 of the old Mickey Thompston Stadium trucks in person but Its very likely all those have vanished :( The pictures are likely the best view youll get of them now a days .

Rob I thought they used built 2.5s in all their race trucks. Trophy trucks and road track trucks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FrankTheDog Posted April 15, 2012 Share Posted April 15, 2012 Weren't the stadium trucks reskined in 93 as Dakota's? The only Dakotas with a decent drivetrain. They one the championship too I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ComancheKid45 Posted April 16, 2012 Share Posted April 16, 2012 Walker Evans won the 1990 Mickey Thompston Stadium Series championship with Jeep and the Comanche. I believe the program was switched to Dodge Dakotas in 93 but the orgional Comanche setups returned later in the season just with Dakota bodies untill the series was killed off in the mid 90s.
