DMV confirms the truck is (at least registered as) a 1966.

Ok yeah, that make a lot more sense. IIRC, the trans-brake was introduced in the early 70's and is a drag car setup. The brake I was refering to woulda never been installed in a stock car much less a truck. In my mind someone shoulda built that car on an assembly line though
Imagine if we didn't have the 70's-80's performance gap?
