That's what I thought when I saw it!  It's got some serious horsepower under the hood!

71 F-350 dually flatbed, "little 302" (as some folks here call them) .030 over V-8 with a "baby"C-6, B & M "ghetto" truckshifter, Dana70/4.11 ratio, intermittent wipers, tilt steering, full LED lighting on the flat bed, and no stereo yet (this way I can hear all the rattles to diagnose them)!
A lot of "oddball" Ford parts collected from working on them for 34 years now!

Really Sweet...!!

Little more practice and that truck could've been mid to low 8's. Lost the fat part of a second at the tree...
