Ford F-250 converted for use as an aeronautical craft aerodynamics platform

[Brian Austin]

XCOR's "Trunnel" , wherein they mount a craft to the back of this truck and speed down a runway at 100 MPH.  Rather than using a stationary model in a wind tunnel chamber, I guess.

While completely unnecessary, I kind of wish they'd used the original rear quarter panels to finish the sides for a neater appearance.  ?

Overall this kind of looks like how a Bonneville LSR made from an F-250 might look.  ?

At first, I thought you were talking about the other Ford F-250 converted for use as an aeronautical craft ....
