21ft Trucktopus Is An 8 Wheeled FREAK | RIDICULOUS RIDES

Показать описание

TRANSFORMING a standard pick-up truck into an eight-wheel, 21ft-long beast has taken a Tennessee man 20 years and some “epic man-hours”. Steve Francis, 48, has customised nearly every aspect of his truck, lowering the body by three and a half inches, adding six 20-inch rims, packing in a V8 engine, and adding suicide doors. The vehicle started life as a plain 1989 Isuzu LS SpaceCab, but since being transformed has won numerous competitions and taken home multiple trophies at car shows. Steve, who owns his own towing company, told Barcroft Media: “When you get that feeling of winning a ‘best of show’, a ‘best overall’, that is such an incredible feeling and adrenaline rush.

I met this guy at Texas Heatwave around 6 or 8 years ago and he is the nicest, coolest guy you could meet. Super cool dude.

Not my style but I respect it for the work that was put on it, the passion he has is like no other.

Very cool, one of a kind... Most trucks you see out there at shows just use stuff right off the shelf and act like they did something.... Kudos for being 100% original

That's sick dude... and I grew up in the 80s and 90s in Southern Californian mini truck capital of the world...

LOVE the old school tandem axle mini truck meets new school mini truck combo! Beautiful truck!

This is very cool! I always wanted to do a triple axle treatment or put tandem front wheels on one of my vehicles. Yeah, you'll definitely notice a difference in how wide to take corners when you take this out for the first time after modifying it from stock. I think the biggest pain would be the excess tire wear when they scrub against the asphalt on the sharp turns.

Mini trucks are cool to begin with, this guy went over the top and it looks great.

This man's great sense of humor is indicated by his vanity plate "DETAIL" which is kapakai (a little Hawaiian lingo for ya). Krazy nice build!
