Very cool idea

Ok... So this was not a dentside that I saw, but it made me wonder what the most unusual build you have seen was. This was a 67' Chevy, single cab truck with car hauler flatbed. There are two rear axles and the truck hinged just in front of the first axle so that the truck would essentially lay the front bumper and reap bumper flat on the ground for unloading. I notice the rear axles were trailer axles, and then noticed the truck had been converted to front wheel drive I with a 502 Caddy motor powering the whole thing. Phone was dead so I didn't get a pic, but it is for sale for $25,000. Really cool old truck.

Anybody see something this cool in a Ford?

Cortez motorhomes build a couple years with a 302 and a modified transaxle for them to be front wheel drive. Closest thing that comes to mind.

Cool concept Alan!!

Maybe ONE of the coolest trucks I've seen was up at the Indy Off-Road Jamboree a few years back. It was a 2008 or 09 F350 4x4 6.4L crewcab King Ranch that had been re-skinned to a 1979!! I didn't get any pictures, and I've never seen it there again!! But man it was sweeeeet!!
