    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.

  2. Not sure how the door would work on the camper. Looking at the outline around the head of the fella standing there says: photoshop…

    Looking at that front pic I thought "eh, that didn't work but it's not mutilated like some of these." Scroll down, "EYEEEEEEEyAHHHHHH!!!"

  8. This must have been a semi-popular conversion at one time because I remember seeing more than one of these when I was a kid.

    I think it needs a flashing yellow light attached to the top of the "T" top. Batman's car had one (at least in the batman version I remember)...

    Not in my memory, but either color would work. with all the other "artistic" additions, on the car, the top just looks so bare. :D

    There is more money in the frame and suspension than the car body is worth. I like the execution of the build and the fact that while not a hot rod, is is clean and looks very well done. As Anthony would say, “l’d drive it!”

    The more you look the more the more you really shouldn't. Sedan'ster? From the dually tires, stacks, lambo doors and rear cultivator wing to the interesting helm position, this POS drove on city streets to get there.
