I would'nt doubt that at all. I had one in a 6500 single axle Jimmy years ago. It would pull out pretty good with a gross weight of around 65,000 hauling machinery on a flatbed and would get 8 mpg or so.

Naw I have'nt kept up with the truck races or pulls in years.

The last truck race I went to was Atlanta in the early 80's Jason Tauton took it with a 12V71 in a green Kenworth.

Hershel Needham took the sled pull with his "Ole Bertha" blue Kenworth with a 8V92.

They had to flag Mr Needham off to stop him cause he was running out of the Arena with the sled. They figured something was wrong with the sled so they reloaded it and had him pull again, shore nuf he had to be flagged to a stop again with it.

When the sled started loading up that 8V92 sounded like a freight train and smoked like one too. It was the dangdest thing I had ever seen or have seen since.
