Toro-powered 39 Ford COE truck
Just saw this in Street Rodder. 8-71 blown 455 Olds, Toronado drive, mid engine. Built by So-Cal Speed Shop. Enjoy!

That is really cool and very well done but why did they paint it Army green. Ugly color but that is just my opinion and you guys know that opinions are like. Thanks for sharing Joe.

With that funny looking engine in there, there's only room for a few bags of groceries.

That is one of the most unique builds I have seen in a long time and a roots blown, fuel injection polished to the 9's 455 to power it!

The bike looks like it has disc brakes off from a pedal bike. I've never seen a rotor that size on a motorcycle before.

It almost looks like a converted pedal bike and probably very fast but also very light.
