F-100 XL Drag Pickup

This interesting truck was built by Dearborn Steel Tubing in 1963 and raced successfully in the B/FX factory experimental class. Dearborn Steel Tubing, as you may know, had a hand in many of Ford's racing cars of the '60s including factory lightweight galaxies, thunderbolts, and even rally falcons. They even offered this as a conversion package from DST for $3400, but it appears unlikely that more than one was ever built.

In an utterly amazing internet story of the right people talking to the right people who knew the right people, the lost has been found! And it's in amazingly great shape!

The truck still exists, but it is not factory despite what the dealer claimed.

It was an in-complete truck when it was sent out by FoMoCo to Dearborn Steel Tubing be converted.

FTE member garbz2 knows the entire story, and this truck gets a 'lotta play" on this site.
