Was that a Photoshop job? I would love to see that one.

ETA: Not a standard Frame so maybe the frame was Shopp'd in or it is a custom frame...

This is what you get when a backseat driver builds a truck

Why twin turbos? Most people like to make others eat their smoke, but this guy eats his own

Wow...he's got a whole theme going on....flipped cab, Olds Fiesta flipper wheel covers & flipped out concept! :lol:

It's a good way to move the gas tank to the rear of the truck, just move the whole cab.....

Where are the wheelie bars? Unless it's running on one cylinder it's gotta pull the front tires.

Shades of altered wheelbase racing in the 60’s.

That thing steers from the rear? Either that or the steering linkage is hella long man.

I wondered about steering, too. I wonder if it's all hydraulic. No bed. Where would you put it, in front of the cab? It's not really a cab & chassis either. More like a chassis & cab.

Fake. A very good fake, but no way that contraption could be on the road without the cops being all over it. Headlights behind the engine not legal. Steering? Ungainly if he uses the [now] rear wheels. Maybe possible with drive-by-wire tech on front axle, but prohibitively expensive just to make a goofy chassis run. Does the cab have any visable means of support?
Much cheaper to pull off a photoshop hoax. Multi layered, with shot of area between roadsigns to frame it. Set up shots of cab and shot of chassis at same angle, superimpose in ''lane'' then crop at ''realistic'' angle and airbrush in section of steering wheel in foreground.
Or show me moving pictures.

Looks like a twin turbo V-8 under the... in front of the hood.

special-K 07-16-2018 10:22 PM

Re: Something different...
 
You can see it's a custom frame and I see some under the cab. I see a typical front suspension that steers and a leaf spring solid rear axle. It is going too far for street driven (IMO) even if it was legal in some way. Pushes the envelope into the toilet for those creative builders with more respect for building something somewhat sensible.

no its real. I saw another pic of this at a car show it was headed to that day on another forum as well. I have no idea how that thing steers, there was another pic of a square body the same way but no engine yet

Motion pictures, video, movies. That's what will make me believe it. Otherwise fake until proven real. If real, it's a stupid waste of a '67 Orange cab.

+1 I also noticed there’s no radiator in sight. I guess it could still be in the core support. I don’t know why people do what they do sometimes.

It looks like a perfect candidate for a Hot Wheels creation. ;)

Our HHR has an electric rack on it- maybe that’s what he used?
