    Awesome project. Definitely unique. Are those wheels from an 80s jeep?

    What's even more amazing is that 73hiluxsemi can do an engine swap in the middle of the street! Where I live, with its Homeowners' Association, I can't even do an oil change in my driveway (well, I am not supposed to, anyway)!!!

    Seriously though, this truck really is cool! Great job!!

    I think it should be converted to a 10 wheeler. Only 4 more wheels to go.....
