Here's a close-up of Bill Kennedy's '75 Chevy C10 racer. The C/Production pickup hails from Corona Del Mar, CA. and it's powered by a 370-inch engine.

The second year for a Ford OHV 6 and the last year for a Flathead V-8 in the U.S. here's Ken Cook's Flathead V-8-powered '53 F-100 that went 95.065 mph. The record for XF/Modified Pickup is 96.383 mph ... they almost had it.
