Driving your chassis

[skrit]

Anyone ever done something like this? Is so, let's see some vids!

I love this clip. Not an EB but can imagine it being.

Ive heard of when they build motorhomes they get a driving chassis. And they drive them from one side of town to the other that way.

My cousin did this with his EB in the mid 80s. Obviously I don't have a video or even pics of it, but he did. He was working on his body after he had finished his frame, and drivetrain, and decided to drive it around his neighborhood sitting on a 5 gallon bucket. Can't remember how he secured that, but it was definitely comical watching him drive it around Signal Mountain. His parents were on the porch, watching him, and shaking their heads... I think I was 13 or 14. Good times.

I am just a couple of step above that set up. 73 with a 302 3 spd, and yes it is fun to drive.

I remember a time of chaos, ruined dreams, this wasted land….

That was a horrible idea, not any fun at all

When we go out into the "wasteland" on a run to Gas Town and the Bullet Farm, I mount up some 16x38.5x15 to stay on top of the sand. Yes it takes away some horse power, but I do not get stuck and caught by the marauders AKA "the jeep people". Lol

I drove my E450 chassis for my Loadstar project around a bit without a cab. I don't think I have any pics though.
