The truck was lowered and white in color, with a large aluminum splitter/air intake under the front grille. It should have been between 1995 and 1997, about the same time I began working on my truck.
I'll be darned if I can find it. Either my Google is very weak or there wasn't much done with the truck following after the races. As I recall, the truck was capable of 150ish sustained and due to the proprietary EFI, they were pulling down fuel mpg in the mid 50s, giving them an advantage over competitors for fuel stops.
Does anyone else remember this article? It may have been a 1955 or 1956 body.

Joe, I don't think your google is weak. I think 1995 is a long time ago in Internet time. Do you have any idea which magazine you might have seen this in? Did you have any subscriptions back then? I had Hot Rod and Car Craft subs but I don't remember either with an article like this.
edit: here's one that may have a 3.8 Buick.
