Love the stock size tires and steel wheels !!!

I have a 96 F250 4X4 with the same look, although my body isnt near as nice. I have always liked the stock, no BS look. They can keep their lift kits, fat tires and chrome.


Let us know what kind of 1/4 mile times your running.

What does the badge say? Under the F350 it says special vehicle (something) I can't make it out.

Oh, so it's not actually something special with the truck. Darn. I thought I was going to see something unique.

What do you mean??? --- this truck is UNIQUE ---- only vehicle at the 1/4 mile track with a Class V hitch, towing mirrors (FORD NOS in black) and a pop-up goose neck set up in the bed weighing slightly less than 300 lbs (I know because I welded up the A36 1" plate and fab'd it)

OK, I will agree with you that it is unique AT THE TREE surrounded by real dragsters. I wouldn't hesitate to do the same with mine. If you run in bracket races, heck you might even win!

ps. the truck is a tow vehicle ---I'm building up its hp and torque to tow things........getting times is just for fun--the amount of hp I'm building should get a vehicle into the 11's easily, but if this truck gets 14's I'd be delighted given it's a stick, stock chassis and has more drag and extra weight than the Titanic......
