Re: who wants to go fishin ?
pretty interesting concept...
I'd really like to see how they made a 460 econoline 1 ton FRONT WHEEL DRIVE?
(modified toronado transmission?)There's always something new to learn. -
Re: who wants to go fishin ?
I remember those things. They used a regular C6 auto trans with a transfer case driving the front wheels only. Not something I'd want to drive more than a hundred miles.Just groovin' to my own tune.Comment

Sweet -
So it's the front half of a 4x4 set up?
Schnikies! Those transfer cases are not designed to be run all the time, or for extended periods of highway cruise!
Maybe with a pump, transcooler, and the corresponding additional fluid it might stay alive.... might.
That would explain the 4x4 front end stance of the thing.
Interesting concept for sure - and impressive that someone actually got such a thing into production - however limited it was.There's always something new to learn.Comment

No carpeted boards for the boat to load onto? Straight onto steel? Not even any rollers - yikes!
Of all the paths you take in life - make sure a few of them are dirt.Comment

Oh man, THIS THING RULES!
WOW. It's totally insane in a brilliant kind of way. This is something every 1980's television super-villain would have needed to have. Hell, I can see KITT jumping this troat (truck/boat...yep, made that up all by me self) at the end of an episode of Knight Rider.
Boog....this is a good one and it's totally hitting the blogo on Monday!
