Sorry no other info. I even did a search and couldn't find anything.

I actually have most of the parts here to build something like that, just not a priority. I think all I need is a set of wide wheels, everything else is in stock, but I would use 51-52 parts. May have to start mocking it up over the winter, maybe paint it a heavy metallic green.

I'm thinking the same thing. I do have my 52s original flathead, would work well in a very light truck.

A clean look with a nice paint job but it isn't going to stay that way for long with no fenders over those big tires. Also with such large tires on the front I would think that the oversteer would be pretty significant.

Fun design and better that most . . . but inadequate engineering.
