Back in the day people used to build crazy stuff like this all the time
They actually manufactured a truck like this for a very short minute due to safety. The idea was to haul more freight by placing the truck under it. But they changed the laws for truck and trailer length and the idea was scraped.
Talk about a huge blind spot behind the engine
It's only stupid if it don't work...
that is not at all what this is this is a powered steerable dolly
Signal delivery service back in the 80s was looking at such a truck. The drivers of signal delivery said they would not drive them because they were unsafe. The windshield was right at the height of a tire from other trucks or trailers
How do you see passed the engine I'd drop the engine low as possible then build the cab just so you can see
If it fits it ships. You know the law!
Couldnβt he have just purchased a plane tractor?

You ought to look at coal mine trucks!!! Lol Especially those underground...
It's copy of a Boing steer car
That is a C15 CAT engine not a Cummins
Will they ever build an i-4 from Tampa to Daytona my dad worked for a company out of Tampa which used Mack trucks that they would put the cab in back of it so they can carry the bridge beams
i work for a company in NEW ZEALANDthat built quit a number from scratch that were very short in length less than 3 metres long and no higher than the turn table . they are used on the ferries to load trailers to ensure max number of trailers can get on
And thats not the only one on the road.
Used to be atruck like that from the steel mills
That's how they haul minute man missiles around Really cool!
New Zealand Rail had a fleet of them powered by 353 Detroits for loading swap trailers onto the ferries
