Ford Truck Killed.
I was on my way home just cruising down the main drag. This homeboy in what looked like a harley davidson F-150 pulled up next to me. It had the two tone paint job like some GNs have. I didnt expect anything out of it. I launch a little hard just enough to let him know i was there, and he responds with some throttle. Instantly the sound I heard brought back memories of test driving an SVT Cobra. I heard a whine. This sounded Supercharged. So I buried the pedal about the same time he did. I jumped 2 cars on him and braked off and he pulled up next to me. Got about half a car in front of me and then went WOT again. I returned fire and reeled him and pulled a car on him at about 75mph. I shut down, gave him 'Thee Nod', and went on my way. Does anybody know about these trucks? I was not expecting a supercharger.

The 1st year Harley Davidson Truck wasn't Supercharged, but every one after that was...It has the same engine as the Lightning I'm pretty sure...Course it's a heavier.

I know the difference between a T and a Grand National. I was talking about the 82 GNs, some were silver over gray or gray over silver. I know of a family that has one of each. Though there are some two tone Ts out there.

Maybe he was refering to the elusive '83 Grand National.

The newer HD fords have a supercharger. Very similar to the Lighting but with a differnent pulley system. If memory serves I believe they produce around 340 hp. stock.

I tangled with one of the HD trucks earlier this year and I could not get him.
I believe this one was hopped up some though, but I did not have quite enough to get him.

I just bought a HD truck a couple mth ago, it will roll on top end shut off is around 130mph...i had mine 120, i`ve been reading in the HD forum that some replace the chip and top end is moved up to 170mph
 , but i never nailed it from a dead stop...only from 65mph or so.....i just bought it to pull the GN to the track...the interior is black and gray just like the gn interior, but i know my GN would leave that truck from a dead stop...but the truck is quick not bad for a 5500lb
