i have seen something like that before, but it was an International medium truck chassis with both ends having a front drive axle. the story goes that some specialized equipment bodies needed to be be very low to the ground, which precluded the use of large rwd axles and suspension components. so the conversion companies would buy 4x4 truck chassis and cut the frame off behind the cab, use the front section, and sell the rear for scrap/parts. when they made the truck with 2 fronts, the conversion company would just cut it in half and use both ends, with no wasted material.

i think it would be fun to make a 4x4 version, and both ends having engines of their own...then put transfer cases in so they would be FWD. then have a driver in each end, and have a tug o war. lol
