Pulled over 22 times in a BACKWARDS Truck!

[89AKurt]

This could be a fun model to build, don't have to worry about it working, much less getting pulled over.

Old idea; been done.

Wouldn't those old Econolines do that stock by just slamming on the brakes?

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.

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.

This guy's late to the party, things like this have been done before.

You can build this with the impending release of the T2 VW Bus

Any of those would be an interesting morning rush hour commute. Even better during a 5 o’clock rush hour. LOLOLOLOL!!!

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.

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!?

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.

Phil Garner's Chevy is included in the linked page I posted in my reply up the thread a bit.
