Mark Cowan is restoring the infamous Robby Gordon 1966 F100 multi championship winning race truck. The truck, which was nicknamed the “Hay Hauler”, is one of the most memorable desert race trucks in my mind. The truck debuted at the 1987 and while it had old school looks, it was one of the wildest Class 8 trucks back then. Builder Jon Nelson introduced “elliptical rear springs” to the off road racing world. This thread on Race Dezert is full of old photos and memories by lots of people, including Bob Bower, who co drove the truck with Robby often.

The 67-72 Ford is my favourite truck body style, followed by the 62-66 Ford, then 60′s Dodge or 67-72 Chevy. I think this truck may move the 62-66 Ford truck up to the top!

The “Terminator” was a 60′s Ford pulling truck that was used in the 1980′s and then retired in 1991 when the truck and tractor pull craze died down. The truck was built by Go Fast Engineering . Hopefully they can send us some more photos. What a great looking truck!

The Terminator was built in 1981, it started as our service truck. When truck pulling became popular we modified it to become a full time puller. We built a 500 cid motor and changed the suspension. We pulled with USHRA and USA and traveled across the country, pulling in civic centers, fairgrounds and football arenas, including the Superdome in New Orleans. We never made alot of money but we made alot of friends. We retired the Terminator in 1991.
