Not that I can imagine a FWD full size pickup to be terribly useful, I'd be curious as to what's under the hood and how it's arranged.

Mostly because the full size FWD Eldorado's with big blocks and the engine pointing forward always amused me from an engineering standpoint.

Buy that truck for the propane tanks, front axle, and maybe the engine. Throw the rest of it away.

I wouldn't buy it for the propane tanks, seeing as it has none.

Cool truck, but I'd say having a picture of it is just about as useful as having the truck itself. What a waste of a perfectly good F250. If I had the asking price I'd buy it as a parts truck, gotta have some good stuff with that low mileage.

Curious though, why put 2 SRW axles instead of 1 dually one? Same amount of tires on the ground either way...

I know width is an issue but by me I routinely see forest fire trucks with DRW axles the same width as an SRW, don't know who makes them but they're routinely put on both Chryslers and Fords...

There is a guy about 20 miles from me that has close to the same set up, this one is a 95 with the tandem rear axles but they are both live.It is a 350 cc that he has a sliding fifth wheel hitch init. The sides of the bed have been cut down to the top of the wheel humps in the bed. He transports cars on a 45' trailer up to some of the smaller towns for the dealers. but as a daily driver he says it sucks. He swears that the only reason he has the thing is he got a screaming deal on it, He sears when it dies it will go tho the jy and he will get a normal truck.Happy Trucking.
