Re: Unique trucks...
Is this the future for pickups? All cab, no bed at all? If they get any smaller they might as well make it a trunk to keep the luggage dry.

If I had this one I'd have to come up with 4 wheel steer.

Once you finish that monster burger and wash it down with a big gulp, turn your hat backwards and drive off. People will say “that guy doesn’t know if he is coming or going”.

Re: Unique trucks...
I don't know. I didn't consider it could be a 3-wheeler. It very well could be. I was thinking articulated like a pan/earthmover on first sight. Whatever it is, no one is taking notice. It looks more like a creature than a vehicle. Very odd and for what? A parade vehicle?

I'd ask this guy but he looks busy

I don't know, I've seen some farm tractors hooked up to something with a load bearing swivel that they just took out the front axle and apparently steered with the brakes.

Always thought this one needed to be fixed up. I last saw it down in Newcastle. Would make one heck of an RV.

Re: Unique trucks...
WOW! I knew about the Labatt's trucks, and the one survivor, but not that Levi's truck. Funky neat for sure. But what it's purpose was is super cool. Kids would be thrilled by such a thing back then. I wonder about now. They'd be younger than shown, most likely

They could have an Italian Ice, too

That cooler is a rock catcher for sure. I bet that trans makes some heat turning those tracks. I don't know what to call that Corvair 95 but it needs a good name. I'd like to see it done, too

Something spayshil about this'un

I do appreciate the amount of work to build something like this. I'd loose the pipes/stacks and the chrome cowl. I do like this rig.
