Alternate Front Axle
I've really been thinking about the next truck and how I'd like to do the opposite of the stock restoration I'm doing on Earl. Anyway, something totally unusual would be to mount the Y-block transverse and go with front-wheel-drive. With all the torque and all, I figured having more rubber meet the road would help with performance on a drag strip. Here's an idea that might go along with the transverse Y-block and front wheel drive.

George... while some of the viewers have a more serious bent, I enjoyed your look into the future of trucking. Putting a smile on things is a wonderful way to start the day.

You should mount a hydralic pump in place of the tranny and use hydralic motors on each wheel for 4x4. If you set up the steering right you could turn each side independently like a bobcat skid loader.
