Anybody done a 'cab-over' rat?

[Andrew]

I saw this today but it's a little too beat up for me. (looked like a different truck from afar in the bushes) And had a cool idea of mounting the cab on the rear wheels... I wanna know if it's been done (I mean, I'm sure it HAS, but if you guys know of any!? )

I'll attach a quick MSPaint pic of my idea...

Mid - engine cabover

I think this is something along the lines of what your talking about??? Mounting the cab over the rear wheels????? I don't know if that's been done, or why you would want to???

Or just make a sweet car hauler out of it.

 

[Andrew]

Yeah. Placing the cab over the rear wheels. Just something different! (wayyyy different)

You can probably find a practically new one if you keep an eye out for used fire trucks. My wife said I can't have one - I already tried.

The cab in the back idea would be like some bizarre monster dragster!? Why not?

COEs are friggin UGLY! Thats why there so darn cool. I came across a '41 Chevy Cab Over Engine this summer, guy wanted the price of scrap for it. Thoughts of making a hauler were dancing through my head. It was in pretty decent shape too, Old fire truck low miles.

There's a really cool old dodge one right near me.

You better snag that one, especially if you can get it at present scrap prices.

Hey ufslious does the Dodge look like this? I had it given to me, has a 354 Hemi.

OK, leave the cab up high,move cab & motor back leaving the grill front & extend the hood sloping down toward the grill,extend the fenders & square off the door, maybe extend the back of the cab. Heck put a bus behind the cab.....LOL
