The "this is just wrong" thread

Must have been a beach to try and steer at slow speeds. Don't see any heavy lift cables or winch rig on it. How long before the flathead crank bearings run dry on the stripped ford engine. Looks like the Caddy and hydro had been set up as a sled power unit for some reason and was later put on the front of the truck as a quick and dirty re-power stunt. Way back in the 1960's I saw several Caddy and hydro sled power units built up to run a drive shaft over to water wells in the Indio Ca. date farms. The power sled was drug around from well to well and the fly in the air drive shaft were attached between the hydro and the 90deg well pump head. Hydros made for an easy setup, just pull the throttle and set the rpm. Let it go.
