Neat.....Was that a custom job? I swear I saw a truck just like it the other day, with the corvette back and everything. I remember thinking how crazy it looked.

I don't think the corvette rear on a truck body is a new idea but also think that truck is a one-of-a kind. They probably just used that corvette rear because he liked it. I noticed the inboard-outboard sticking out in the first part of the video and thought it was a receiver for a tow bar and ball, wasn't sure. Did you see near the end that the front wheel was turning when the truck was in the water? Must be a constant link to both the front wheels and the inboard/outboard. Was that jet or prop? wonder what kind of powerplant he used.
