When Hillenburg/Crawford switched to the Stanton cars, I bought the Walker car that had the torsion bars inside the frame rails. Joe Jon Moxley and Troy Matchen bought the other one that had the torsion bars mounted inside the motor compartment. As far as I know, Hillenburg only had these two Walker cars. We both ran these cars at OKC as modified cars with 6 cylinder motors. I sold mine to a guy in Lindsay, OK that ran it as a super for one year and then sold it to somebody in that area that was going to run it as a modified. As far as I know, he never did. I don't know what happened to it and I don't know what happened to the one that Joe/Troy had.

I don't know but I may have one. There are pictures in my album you can see if it is close. I posted a
question last year about ID on my car with not a lot of answers. Are there any pictures of the Walker
chasis cars?

Sorry, but I don't think that is a Walker. But it does have the torsion bar setup like they're talking about.

There were several setups like those in Walker/copy cars too. Most were outside the framerails. We know that one was like yours.

This car reminds me of the SW-Arizona, NM supers. 30"X90". 90" being the wheelbase

Update,
Well it looks like the car from Lindsey, Ok wasn't it after all. There seems to be 2 more options out there, and GRC35 is looking into it.
