Mike, I've seen that "Farm Truck" run a couple times on one of the street drag racing TV shows. I think the show originates out of OKC.

That is funny. It really is a race car disguised as a farm truck. The owner has done a great job with it.

Reminds me of two cars friends had in high school.

One was a beat up old bug with Empi wheels and a aluminum block Buick 215 V-8 in it. He had it muffled down and you really couldn't tell until he left the stop light with the front wheels in the air.

The other was a 4 door 63 valiant. Thing was rusty and beat up on the outside and sat at stock height but if you looked under the back you could see where the owner had fitted some big meats under it and under the hood was a 426 Hemi. I grew up in a small town and it wasn't very long before he had to go to the San Fernando Valley in L.A. before he could get anybody to race him. My high school car was a 66 Chevelle SS with a 454 big block. Tires were close to stock width. he would pull me with no problem.

Same here and it looks like the guy in the farm truck is doing the same thing.

I can here it now, "oh it's just an old truck, don't do much but I thought I'd bring it out for fun jus' to see what she'd run" Yeah, Right :D
