I’d forgot about this one Ben! It sounds like it’ll be perfect for CTC once it’s done.
One in the bed and one on a trailer behind it! The micro cars/trucks will fit between the wheel wheels and full sized cars/trucks on ramps built up over the wheel wells! Inside width of the bed will be 94"
Here is a very crappy "shopped" photo. Try not to laugh

De-construction of the Step Van is well under way.

The box is apart leaving only the bed behind. Time to sort out which panels to keep. Jeep Cab coming soon! Going to re-purpose the shelves somewhere in the shop.
Jeep FC170 Jumbo Pickup/Ramp Truck is coming along! The cab needs to come down a foot or two. Quite an adventure getting it on the chassis with a series of ratchet straps and an engine hoist.
Video on my youtube channel now.

It looks like the back of the cab is roughly where the shifter is?
Also, at about 7:00 what’s on the first lift above the Model A? It has 2 seats & 2 handlebars?

The shifter is only a couple of inches behind the cab. I plan on putting a louvered cover over the opening on the back of the cab with a slope at the bottom to cover the shifter. Can you tell that I really wanted a stick?
The contraption is my version of a surrey bike. It has two independent sets of pedals and gear clusters as well as an independent electric motor driven. All three can freewheel, so you avoid the worst part of the surrey bike/tandem bike, which is the clash over differing cadence. The second set of handlebars is stationary and just to hold on.
What's funny is I almost had the same plan. But had to sell it when we moved because of lack of space.

A striking similarity! Did you have a cab in mind?

Yeah, my fc170 cab. Kept the cab but sold off that chassis setup. It's now half mounted to a 95 f350 chassis
