Way cool, even if it is a ford.
The owner discussed it about post 70 or so in this thread

I've seen this truck, very nice! His shop is within 15 miles of mine.

When I saw 6. 0 and wheelie in the same line, I figured it would be on the back of a tow truck

Transbrakes are cool. :-laf

Weight transfer and grip helps too.

Joe. . exactly what I was thinking. . transbrakes are to drag racing like guns are to hunting... you can hunt with a bow and arrow but a bullet gets it done quicker :-laf Still pretty cool. . wish it was a 4x4 crew cab with 37's doing that

I've got a brake in my truck but I'm afraid to use it weighing 5500 lbs.

I mainly play with the button in the driveway. :-laf

This is close to a wheelie!

I see daylight under that tire!

Got one in my 87 Regal, should put one in the racecar some year though!!

No transbrake on that truck.

Little more daylight here:

People have told me that I've pulled a front wheel drag racing, when I do a 40PSI launch.

The only confirmed case I have is here:

I think your fooling your self on this one. It does not look like its up to me and even if it was it would be from a bounce.

It wasn't a bounce, but rather a very abrubt locked downshift at the end of the track. I have watched the video this still came from and there is definately daylight under the tire. .

This event probably caused the twisted splines on my old billet input shaft.

New vid and quote from owner:

Full run, but the timing lights got fouled. Notice how it's hitting the limiter on every shift, if shifting at all.

MPH is probably correct though. Obviously, it's ran faster than this.
