It takes all kinds
Ok, I was killing time cruising around Ebay (don't ask me why...I can't affordto buy anything) and I stumbled on this truck;
Item number: 160061598783
Now I have see a few front wheel drive trucks over the years. It used to be quasi popular to make a car hauler out of the old front wheel drive Eldorado and Toronados. And I've even seen an old Dodge humback delivery that was a front wheel drive so the handicapped driver could just roll his wheel chair right in the back and up to the drivers area.....but this thing takes the cake
Look at the picture of the back of the truck...this guy has gone to extremes to keep his frosty beverage container out of direct sunlight

First one I've ever saw; looks sharp and good detail paint. I've never heard of a vehicle being split down the middle. He chopped, shave & split the whole thing. I would buy if I had money to waste. Don't really care for the spears on the side or the wooden bed though.

Why? I hope that he used bad sheetmetal for his conversion. He also probably could have used F7-F8 front sheetmetal as it's wider.

Reminds me of the time the Sewer Plant overflowed during a big storm. There were "Brown Trout" floating all over.

I'd like to see it close up and in person. It would be neat to see if the mods were quality or just some cobbled together junk.
Not exactly my style but you got to give the guy credit for creativity. Maybe he had a pile of junk laying about and was able to get it all pieced together.
Its definately interesting

It's rather sinister looking...has a sort of Mad Max look to it. I saw a 48 F-? a couple of months ago at a show where the owner had cut off the original frame behind the cab and grafted a car trailer to it. It had an Olds Toronado front suspension with FWD. He hauled another car to the show on the back of the truck. It was pretty cool.
