Tri-Five typically means a Chevy 55-57 frame.

On the original '30s chassis they were high like this and had buggy springs and straight axles at both ends. Then they went to the tri five style('55-'57 chevy) chassis making them lower, wider, and gaining independent front suspension.Then they went to fabricated tube frames that sat lower still with much more offset

Something like this would work well for the AWD NASCAR type chassis I was thinking of due to the forward offset of the front wheels.

My Dad was six when he heard this. He remembered it well, and recalled everyone else panicking. Dad said his parents didn't, and he never understood how people could have missed the commercials during the broadcast.

We had two bags of grass, seventy-five pellets of mescaline, five sheets of high-powered blotter acid, a saltshaker half-full of cocaine, and a whole galaxy of multi-colored uppers, downers, screamers, laughers... Also, a quart of tequila, a quart of rum, a case of beer, a pint of raw ether, and two dozen amyls. Not that we needed all that for the trip, but once you get locked into a serious drug collection, the tendency is to push it as far as you can.
