Would this be the truck you are referring to Accessed 12/03/2024 from https://www.throttlextreme.com/wild-...ked-idea-work/ This one says it is from America though!
Here is a YouTube clip Accessed 12/03/2024 from https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bfson8bqi8c Kind regards Lionel

I recall seeing this in Jay Lenos Garage video. It was temperamental and difficult to start. It could only run for a short time due to overheating. An interesting aesthetic creation but hardly truly functional. There are other similar vehicles with front or rear mounted radial engines with differing degrees of success.
I Think building a prop powered CMP would be a great project for you Bob! |

Amazing.........
..... surprised I have not seen it before.......
Absolutely awesome but hardly practical........ but still amazing including the finish of the truck. The things big boy will do..... ....and to BOB P. If I built one...... ......................... on what ground could I fight the divorce ????? I met a Pastor this week who has a 1 1/4 ton 42 Chev truck chopped, dropped, mopped, into a modrod pickup in plain steel finish with 3 clearcoats..... who would have imagined....and still powered by the original 216....... who volunteers as restorer at the CWM. All I can say is Amen!!!!!!!
