Don't judge a truck by its looks.

Way cool.

Young horse and an old horse stood on a hill overlooking a dozen mares in the valley. Young horse says, “Hey pops, let’s run down and service a few of them!” Old horse says, “No son, we walk down and service the all.”

10 second wrecker. At leat he didn’t have to spend much on looks.

[seeker41]

Laughed my ass off at that one. Shot off like a rocket on 3 wheels...

[dainbramaged]

10.2 seconds quarter mile run. Talk about a sleeper, wow.

[deport]

Besides power it also has some serious grip on the track.

[visualops]

LOL tailgate about falls off haha

[Carriage Hill]

Not a puff of smoke from those rear tires! Amazing grip. Must be some hellish slicks on those rears. I didn’t hear it shifting, either; was that an automatic?

[Carriage Hill]

3rd replay and I heard 2 shifts.

[HerrBlucher]

I can imagine all the fools this guy must sucker in to a street race, including a lot of “fast” motorcycles. What a shock when the light changes...lol.

I’d love to know what he’s got under the hood on that thing and how much modification he’s done to the frame. Did you see the torque on the body when he took off? Wow.

Blown big block. He calls it just the “farm truck”. I’ve seen him in texas drag competitions quite a bit. He shows up at the track as a farmer with his dog. A lot of the tracks know him so they let him race with his dog in the passenger seat.
He even adds tumbleweed to the grill and the tailgate lol.

Never choose off on an ugly vehicle with a healthy cam lope.

Odds are, 90% of the $$$ spent went into go-fast-goodies. The other 10% to hold it together long enough to get from one stoplight to the next.

Ed "The Outlaw" Jones. A staple of my youth. I've seen both his Firetruck and his stagecoach. Of course, this was way back when he was sponsored by Jolly Ranchers candy, not Jelly Belly.
