Gods above and below, I want to see this at the Challenge. That being said, she's a crusty beasty
https://treasure.craigslist.org/cto/d/okeechobee-ford-f700-race-truck-detroit/7371411274.html
Ford F700 former Race truck. Ford medium duty cab fitted on custom shortened truck frame. Modified Detroit Diesel 8V71 2 stroke diesel engine with custom twin turbo setup. 9 speed Rockwell manual transmission. Roll cage installed. Dually rear end. Truck used to be raced. Supposedly makes over 700 HP. Motor turns but starter is locked up. No title.
I want to park that in my driveway, just to watch the neighbors faces as they walk by.
When I was a kid, Dad and I watched them race those trucks on a 1/2 mile dirt track one time. Still remember the sound and smoke. And the smell of diesel.
Parking lot build this year?

Twin turbos and an 8-71. Wonder how much boost they were running.

Just look at the thickness of those aluminum bars holding the intake together...
Another bonus is now any wastegate situation is probably rusted shut, so now it'll make even more boost than it did before.

I haven't heard of any plans. But frankly, it feels a bit early for that 'planning' thing, no? haha

That is one of, if not the, coolest thing I've ever seen. I want to slap a train horn on that and daily it up I5.

Well ya gotta draw up plans to build a parking lot. Get 'em approved, all that fun stuff. Not sure who our CE guys are around here, though.
In reply to Mr_Asa :
we'll, I figure y'all are going to need another one in order to run something that big. Plus, it's got the power to haul in the stuff required for the build.

Nah, convert it into your new tow vehicle & it can double as your backup rally truck.
This post makes me feel like there may be a future for our civilization yet boys.
With the steady increase of terrible drivers on my commute, this monster would be perfect. Oh. You want to cut ME off?? LoL, okay. I think you may want to reconsider.
Show up to a black tie gala event in that beast!
The amount of awesome there is too much. On one hand you have definite divorce and probable death... the other a fire breathing racing semi...
Mortals were not meant to have to decide these questions.
My wife is very happy I did not see that in time
A 8V92 is identical eternally. Just for the curious as to how much power is available...
And to jim... I've DD'd just a crazy, if not as fast!
I'm in anytime for a class where ya run the truck that towed the track car down... cant get it under $2K though...
The ad is gone. Please tell me someone here bought it.
