89AKurt Posted May 18, 2021 Share Posted May 18, 2021 This could be a fun model to build, don't have to worry about it working, much less getting pulled over. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SSNJim Posted May 18, 2021 Share Posted May 18, 2021 Wouldn't those old Econolines do that stock by just slamming on the brakes? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Posted May 18, 2021 Share Posted May 18, 2021 The Econoline pickups had a 160 pound counterweight attached under the bed floor, near the rear bumper, to prevent that. Not sure about the Dodge A-100 pickup, but it probably had a similar arrangement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SSNJim Posted May 18, 2021 Share Posted May 18, 2021 OK, I'll buy that. I thought it was added later in the run, but it was there from the beginning. Apparently it did reduce the tendency to do a stoppie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlackSheep214 Posted May 21, 2021 Share Posted May 21, 2021 Any of those would be an interesting morning rush hour commute. Even better during a 5 o’clock rush hour. LOLOLOLOL!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian Austin Posted May 21, 2021 Share Posted May 21, 2021 There has been one of those turned into an RV in Australia, and another one in the US built in Space Shuttle dress, in later years converted into a food truck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oldcarfan27 Posted May 22, 2021 Share Posted May 22, 2021 In the 50s and 60's they'd design cars with jet or rocket influences. Now we just build them using real jets and rockets!👀 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZTony8 Posted May 22, 2021 Share Posted May 22, 2021 There was an artist in California( Phil Garner, now Pippa Garner )who did that to a '59 Chevy. It was on the cover of Road & Track back in the 70s. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
