   I haven't seen one, but I have heard of the occasional "fast truck"
that will run 14's off the assembly line for some reason. If ordered
with all the right options, and you happen to get a hot engine, and
all the planets are lined up, I guess. ;-) Actually, I think Chris
(dakota_24@email.msn.com) may have one. Its sure got Bill and I baffled
anyway. Its a regular cab without A/C, 3.90 rearend, 318ci, cat-back
exhaust, JBA headers, drag radials, and I think maybe the MP computer
too. Its run 13's! Meanwhile, I'm wallowing up in the mid 14's and
Bill's done a mess of mods to get down into the 13's. Granted, we both
have club cabs, but I don't see what causes that thing to run so good!!
I think that one's a keeper, Chris! :-)
