So after a few bevvies last night sitting in doorway of the cube van....a fart of brain came upon me like a man wailing on a railway spike with a hammer.

See me feet sitting there...

You must be registered for see images attach


K so the fart of brain.....

Get a steering column...and a 4wd F150 Chassis...use a Bronco Tcase...fixed output shaft no slip yoke.

Drive front axle...add a seat over trans...saddle tank for fuel...and somehow a single rear coaster wheel

Making a trike with an IDI either C6 or E4OD rat rod type delio

Drunkin brain farts...

Whos in?

Thanks for looking.

Pull the axle shaft out of a sterling rear, lop the last few inches off the tube before the hub, and there's your coaster wheel with brake.

I like the way you think! I'd consider the "go cart" option though..keep it RWD..maybe DRW?

I just sold my 88 E250 Quigley 4wd van chassis. would have been perfect for the job but would have lifted the chassis a good 4 inches.

you have to be carefull with ideas like that. they can cost a lot of time and money;Sweet

you can use the rear output shaft of the transfer to a modified turbo for moar boost! and keep it spooled even inbetween shifts.
