Cl find of the day

How the hell does that truck even work? I would think it would drive like shit.....
 
Someone made a business out of grafting those flat deck trailers to 4wd OBS chevys back in the day, I can't remember the company name.....they always struck me as a compromise that offered very little good for all the bad.
If you really can't backup a trailer, or are length limited, I think a TH475 out of a cadillac or buick would have been a better solution....It worked well for the old GMC motorhomes.

yeah there's one the local golf cart place uses.. it is 4wd, running with the front axle.. imho, not very stout being chain drive and intended for use on slick surfaces where traction would limit stress on the chain.. and then there's the CV axles & disconnect...

Here's this thing I just found on Facebook. It launches float planes, but kind of similar. Weird though, supposedly the steering is reversed as well.

that is weird.. and the steering would be right to go left, like a fork lift turns.. I wonder if they used a reverse steering box to make it less confusing.
