This is my 1986 F150... It started life just 2 years ago as an 4x4 old farm/ranch truck of which the owner was going to have it hauled to the bone yard... I took it home and started work almost immediately... I originally planned it to be a "hobby" and in no way thought it would turn into this... I do all of my own work, especially the mechanical stuff... I had a friend, Randy Shaw of Lincoln, Mt. help with some of the body work, but all in all, I did 95% of the work myself in my garage... I installed a 10 point cage in it, with ladder bar suspension... It currently has a 521C.I. Big Block Ford engine that makes 800+ HP... It has a Powerglide Transmission, and a 9 inch Ford rearend with a 4.56 gear... The tires are 26x4.5x15 on the front, and 32x14.5Wx15 on the rear... I have only been able to make a few passes so far this year at Lost Creek Raceway in Anaconda, Mt. It has a best pass of 6.76 sec @ 106mph on their 1/8 mile track... In the video I posted, I was credited with my first official wheelie, although not very high, I was told there was about 4" under the front tires...

Thanks for doing this contest, as it lets us rodders and racers put our "junk" up for public viewing for others to see and admire...

Doug... :-)
