Looking good /forums/images/graemlins/waytogo.gif. I say go right hand drive to balance out the left side engine. /forums/images/graemlins/dunno.gif

Cool! What's the wheelbase going to be? Looks like it's going to make the rear shaft on a CJ5 look long...

Russ,

Target wheel base right now is about 107. It may change as I go along... but it really won't be that short.

The rear driveshaft should be about 2.5 ft long..... Right now it looks weird cuz there's no "back half". But keep in mind the cradle will be right in the middle, and the front axle will be right under the driver's knees./forums/images/graemlins/screwy.gif

I know of the truck you speak of . Kinda looks like a golf cart , but has more power , 4wd , a bed , and is street legal with a gas engine ( 1/3 RD THE SIZE OF A TRUCK ) . Its called a cab over truck generically . Makes the view in front of you really good , like a MOG or Semi truck /forums/images/graemlins/waytogo.gif
