From another board I frequent:
I'm trying to get my head around this but I just can't. Somebody created that monstrosity and, after perpetrating such an unholy act, he calmly put down his torch, wiped his brow, and said, with a smile of satisfaction on his face, "there, that's better!"

That oozes class. Nicely done.
That kind of over hang KILLS the departure angle.
While the execution is clean, that just doesn't seem like a good idea.
Add weight for bitchin' wheelies!
Just because you can, doesn't mean you should.

Yep, that about sums it up.
I wonder if the lines are as cockeyed as they appear in the picture.

He installed the beams with the crown up so as they sag it will droop back to level. That's just good carpentry there.
I actually don't think it's that bad, but since he obviously had an extra truck lying around he should have made a tandem rear using the spare back axle, even if it wasn't driven. That would have ruled.
I can't help but think of how that car/truck will bitch-slap whatever is next to it with it's now-enormous ass everytime it turns a corner.

'58 Pontiac is the answer.

I like how even despite the crapiness of that picture, you still can clearly make out the bondo crack where the joint was made.
Sort of the DIY equivalent of an avalanche or sport-trac, eh?
I wonder how many add-a-leafs are in that rear suspension now...
enough weight... he should be able to get the front wheels off of the ground when accelerating

Well, at least he combined two bits from the same make... unlike some of the similar contraptions we've seen...

anyone else getting a red X now?

Comeon this guy is an artiste
if your bed extends for more than 4 hours...."
Looks better than the Caddy limo on 24s I saw today. I bet the rockers were at least 30" off the ground. I couldn't get the camera out fast enough to get a picture.
