The truck weighed 70 tons, but he wasn't trying to LIFT it!
Rolling resistance of hard tires on a hard surface is very low. He wasn't exerting more than 2-3 tons of force on that chain.
Entirely possible, even with a normal truck, and not at all worthy of any specific bragging rights.
Merrit is in the middle of the Coast Range. Most grades in that area are in the 6% plus range. Even your Allison would puke trying pull that weight up most of them. That truck has some serious drive line mods as well as a lot of power.
