found this on a funny picture type website
wat WAS he thinking

toms68cst · 10-11-2018, 01:32 PM

I guess it's OK if you really want to show off your engine.

71threequarterton · 10-11-2018, 01:36 PM

Needs wheelie bars

**jeffahart** · 10-11-2018, 01:46 PM

Ha ha, he actually tried to use the Assembly Manual to assemble his truck. Just goes to show what a mess that Assembly Manual is!

**HIGHWAY BY THE SEA** · 10-11-2018, 03:37 PM

I wonder how the hell he steers that ABOMINATION???

Coley · 10-11-2018, 03:38 PM

Perhaps he has the cab mounted on 8ft linear gas shocks....so in case of an accident he enough deceleration space to help survive the hit....lol.

**3757chevy** · 10-11-2018, 03:56 PM

Maybe it's rear steer???

69 C10 LWB · 10-11-2018, 04:57 PM

I’ll bet that thing is a wheelie monster. Hope it’s not a 3OTT. Linkage was bad enough when it was short.

**samkost** · 10-11-2018, 05:43 PM

For real? A made up meme?

I does look like it has a front license plate.
Quite the backseat driver.

**3757chevy** · 10-11-2018, 06:22 PM

with twin turbo's.... it looks like the frame out ran the cab?

Good one!

arks · 10-11-2018, 08:02 PM

Looks to me like a short bed conversion gone REALLY wrong!

**Boog** · 10-11-2018, 09:10 PM

Another Utube conversion video gone way way wrong. I sure hope he doesn't get rear ended.

Measure twice, then don't cut anything

**special-K** · 10-12-2018, 05:49 AM

Don't see that everyday, but did see it in another thread not so long ago on it. I swear it might have even had the same title. About a goofy deal for sure. I see a test stand for road tests.

Chris 71 K10 · 10-12-2018, 03:11 PM

maybe he is the tiller truck driver at the local firehouse?

**dmjlambert** · 10-12-2018, 09:17 PM

Those darned backseat drivers.

S_Gibson · 10-12-2018, 09:38 PM

Only in Ohio....

**71CHEVYSHORTBED402** · 10-12-2018, 10:54 PM

Must be hard to park

She's a tail wagger for sure

Shaky · 10-13-2018, 07:47 AM

Come on guys - some member here has to know this guy. We need a feature on this thing!

ratty69 · 10-13-2018, 11:07 PM

What do you do when you have a nice 67 that's badly rear-ended, and a rotted-out long bed that has a long slide-out bumper for a camper? You toss the rotten and crashed parts, weld the slide at full extension, and combine.

And there you have it...

No disrespect meant, he obviously put some effort into that.

I agree . took some thought and planning.

**'68OrangeSunshine** · 10-14-2018, 04:19 PM

On the last thread where this truck image popped up, we determined that somebody mounted a frame-forward V8 on a rig designed for launching big boats.* The real engine was under the hood. The rear wheels steer on CV axles like a front wheel drive.
On the launching/beaching vehicle, the boat is floated onto the semi-submerged frame, secured and pulled up the ramp by the ''truck''.
[EDIT] *Floatplanes, rather.
I thought it was photoshopped at first, too.
