My dad used to pull in the W. MI area in the late '70s and early '80s. He started pulling with his '77 W200 Club cab w/440, in '79 built a Mod with a rusty'67 1 ton w/440. He won the first pull that we went to. He rebodied the truck with a '78 body and repainted it and Named it the "Incredible Hulk" for the '80 season. For the '81 season he cranked up the HP with a 426 Hemi. After the '81 season, his trucking Co. fell on hard times and the truck got parked and was sold 10 years later. He won at least 2 of 4 points classes for the 3 years that he ran that truck. As a little kid I took alot of crap that because we were the only competitive Dodge out there. That's why I like to say, "I was Dodge before Dodge was cool!"
