There was a long series of Back-up pickups when everybody had a forward cab econemy truck. I think Dodge, Ford, Corvair had forward cabs and got converted and it it ran nitro and a huffer it developed more like 1500 HP. Bout like a Funny car or AA Fueler. There is a canoe rental place that has a bus with the top all trimmed off and has a wavy waterline on it. It is call the 'SS Notaboutofloat'. Can't direct you to the picks but it does exist.
