That's very cool - not 35k cool - but interesting

$100,000 invested? NOS cab?

Seems like a fwd drivetrain welded to trailer pig with surprisingly well executed cab-over lipstick

Could be done cheaper with a Dodge Caravan...wait

Didn't someone do a similar build with an Olds Toronado driveline and a Chevy pickup?

I wonder why the bed isnt a roll back. If it were it would be cool to start a wrecker service with vintage trucks.

Cool idea, but is it just me or is that wheelbase really short? Looks like if you were loading anything bigger than a Sprite you'd pull the front end of the truck off the ground. There's also no room for a tool box, etc.

That's why the Car Camel rules all.

Carson, I think they might be able to get away with it because of the fact that the only thing rearward of the back window of the cab is basically diamondplate and some structural steel to support it and the weight of a car. there's probably a good 2,000 pounds on the front wheels and MAYBE 1,000 pounds on the rears if they made the back half of it out of lead. given that, it would have been cooler if they'd made it dual front wheels with a single rear wheel (like that bus from the original Italian Job), although that might compromise the ability to carry a heavier car like a muscle car or an old luxury car

The listing says it's powered by a 500 ci Caddy Eldorado. Meaning it should be pretty nose heavy and gobble fuel like Kirstie Alley unchained at a pie eating contest.

Wait! You've see that thing rolling around McHenry County, too?

i saw that truck at the Rhinebeck GoodGuys show last summer. It is cool and nicely put together, but I don't know if it was $35k nice.
