Summary edit

Description

This is a recreation of the famed Backup Pickup wheelstander that was built by Dick Harding and driven by both Harding and George Tuers. The Econoline truck body was mounted backwards on the chassis, effectively making the back the front and the front the back. It also looked awesome when the truck would go down the strip backwards, the driver trying to see over or around the bed. With the front end up, forward vision out of this truck is non-existent. Often times these guys drove with their heads hanging out the window to see where they were heading.

The engine is a 427ci Ford. The paint is amazing and captures the free-spirited, whimsical attitudes of the day. From the lace and panel painting to the pin striping, this is one magnificent truck. On display at Galpin Auto Sports.
