What kind of transmission does it have? I hope the tranny came out of a helicopter! That is cool! Did he say what he's gonna use for the intake?

first time to see anything like that, pretty cool

**RenoKeene** · 08-20-2012, 12:29 PM

Wow, that's amazing! Any more pics?

56chevy1300 · 08-20-2012, 12:55 PM

I'm afraid I have no info on the truck other than it was for sale by a builder from Spokane. I couldn't get any more photos cause it drew a huge crowd. I was laying on the ground with 20's front and 22's rear. The guy also built his own rims.

Air cooled radial engine in a C10...

bollybib · 08-20-2012, 01:56 PM

Just have to drive it real fast all the time I guess.

hunter_507 · 08-20-2012, 02:15 PM

where's the prop?

GCncsuHD · 08-20-2012, 04:43 PM

Very cool, I would love to see what he had planned for a transmission. There was actually an antique car back in the 20s/30s that had a rear mounted radial engine over the rear axle, but the name slipped my mind.
