Dodge-Powered Chevy C10 Went From Farm Truck to Racing Machine

By Brett Foote - January 3, 2026

This Chevy C10 utilizes a Dodge NASCAR engine and chassis for land speed and hill climb racing – even serving as a draft machine for bikes.

It’s probably safe to say that most trucks – no matter the make – from the 1950s and 1960s were used for work purposes, for the most part, during their heyday. That’s exactly why trucks existed at that time, in fact, though we were just starting to see folks use them more as daily drivers, too. As for this 1967 Chevy C10, that was indeed the case, as it was originally used on an actual farm – but now, it’s a super cool, full-fledged racing machine.

This 1967 Chevy C10 – nicknamed “Tammy” – is now owned and driven by Rick Lind, but it (the body at least) hails from Arizona, where it was previously owned by a friend’s grandfather, who used it as a legit farm truck. Much has obviously changed since then, but there are some pretty cool tributes to the past present throughout – including the Seale’s Service livery, which pays homage to Lind’s great-grandfather’s Mobil Oil dealership in Prescott, Arizona.

Otherwise, this Chevy C10 has been transformed into a custom-built land speed and hill climb racer, one underpinned by a retired NASCAR Truck Series chassis. Power comes from a Dodge R5/P7 NASCAR engine that cranks out around 850 horsepower, making it quite capable in those types of competitive environments. These days, Lind uses the truck for precisely that – even taking it to the iconic Pikes Peak International Hill Climb – and drag racing it, to boot.

If that isn’t enough, the numbers “867” and “5309” present on the side of this Chevy C10 are a playful reference to the famous Tommy Tutone song 867-5309/Jenny, which is a nifty touch. Lind no longer lives in rural Arizona, and is now based in South Carolina, but he recently paid a visit to the Arkansas Mile Horsepower Harvest, helping to serve as a draft vehicle for Neil Campbell‘s attempt at setting a new bicycle land speed record.

For that particular purpose, Lind equipped his Chevy C10 with a large rear fairing, helping Campbell slice through the air and reset the record books. He managed to do precisely that back in October, reaching 175.89 mph, good for a new Guinness Book World Record for fastest bicycle speed in a slipstream by a male.

Unfortunately, Campbell wound up crashing his bike on another attempt at 175 mph, but luckily, he was able to hold on to the truck and avoid total disaster. A bit shaken but undeterred, Campbell is still aiming to become the first person to hit 200 mph on a bike in a slipstream, with another attempt on tap for this coming summer.
