I think you can squeeze a couple more mph out of Yeller Truck (kinda like Blue dog) if you remove the "sun visor" off of the front.

got mine to god i think 70 once in a drag race for a very short period of time against my son in laws 00 gmc 1/2 ton . otherwise around 55 mph she is a screaming and bellowing , and not too terribly happy about it . i figure i can do what you did down hill in a vacuum just because of the weight of her , otherwise not likely ever !!!!!!

Had mine up to 85 on the freeway... but didn't take a pic of it... I need taller tires, different gears (4.11:1 in my 9" down to 3.25 or 3.50) or another transmission (currently 3 spd auto th350... Maybe a 700R4) or a combination of all three.... One big problem... "NO MONEY!"

You gotta love it, I've had Homade over a 100 but no pictures but Truxx and I were running 95 on the KY. Speedway last year, I let him drive Homade just to show him how good it handles. They are having an invitational day at the track today so I'm off to the track, don't know if we can run the track or not but I'm feeling the need for speed too, GET ER DONE.
