Custom Chevrolet Truck Build Has Body Mounted Backwards On Frame: Video

Few vehicles will cause passersby to stop and stare. This Chevrolet truck makes everyone stop and stare, and for good reason. That’s because its body is mounted backward on the frame. Let us explain.
In the video below, we see a Massachusetts local, known as Ron, driving his Chevy C/K 1500. The perspective in the video is the car that’s driving behind Ron, and, as you will see, they are looking at the front of the Chevy C/K. If you think you’re going crazy, watch at the 0:28 mark as Ron’s pickup passes another car on the opposite side of the road, as both are facing the same direction.
This Chevrolet truck is based on a GMT400 Chevrolet C/K 1500 from the early 1990s. The result of a four-year-long undertaking by its owner, the pickup appears completely original on the outside. But when you look inside, you’ll notice that the interior and all the controls, like the seats, steering wheel, dashboard, and instrumentation, have been flipped around so it can drive like a normal truck… or as normal as this Chevy truck can be.
Amusingly, the video notes that this Chevrolet truck conversion has passed the Massachusetts state vehicle inspection process. Part of that inspection is a brake and light test, which is no problem for Ron’s truck because the front turn signals now serve as brake lights and taillights, while the taillights have been modified to work as headlights.
The video concludes with Ron turning into a cul de sac, with the front wheels, now located under the bed, steering just like any other truck. Nothing unusual to see here, folks…. carry on.

A complete waste of a beautiful truck.
He is going to end up hurting or killing someone.
If people are that dumb then our society has much bigger worries
Why confuse other drivers on the highway.
Many many years ago on a show called Chip’s there was one of the episodes with a car having two front ends and it caused an accident when somebody saw it thinking it was coming the opposite direction.
Why ruin that truck plus he going to hurt someone I wonder if this is illegal because he should have red brake lights at the back
1. It’s a 30 year old truck, so who cares
2. He probably isn’t going to hurt someone.
3. The lights are red, which is really noticeable if you watched the video.
I want to see more on this truck. Detailed pics and specs of it!! It is cool. Can he still carry stuff in the bed? Does he have waterproof storage under the hood( or what is the trunk now)?
A little bit of faith in humanity has been restored in me as someone actually looked up from their dadgum phone while driving to notice it. I applaud his ingenuity and follow through.
I have to admit that I did laugh. It’s pointless but it is funny.
Leave it alone, it’s one of a kind at least I would think so. It’s no different then seeing a boat on a truck chassis 4×4 driving down the road in Tennessee while on vacation last April this year. Can’t make this stuff up!
While I do appreciate most custom vehicles and this is by no means an exception I do share concerns over public safety. Most custom vehicles are pointless, they do it because they can, lol. It will make a great show vehicle.
Global crisis and this is what some people are proud of. Fools
We need stuff like this to remind that global society is not all complete shit. We need a reminder that there’s good to see too.
Global crisis???? Dude get over yourself. It’s a funny video of a unique truck!! Can’t stand you people who act like life can’t be lived or be fun cause there’s issues in the world. Get lost.
Will, you shut up !!!
Whats the global crisis???
Will, chilax…there is NO global crisis.
Stop drinking the liberal koolaide.
Just dont like Facebook shovin it in my face, its far from funny, its stupid and a waist. Got a reaction from me and thats unusual. “You people” I know where your coming from. Read the other comments.
This is America, land of the free, home of the most inventive people on Earth. Appreciate this for the infinity and workmanship. DONT HATE, APPRECIATE!
Infinity was supposed to be ” ingenuity “. Does this clear matters up?
Neat, but really? To each their own. You’ll never see a Dodge or ford person do something this pointless. Thanks again Chevy owners for the laughs!!! ?
Will, you need to settle down. Worry about the global crisis and spelling. Waist is where your pants sit. I think you meant waste?! Its a cool project that was probably a blast to make.
Wow. If your going to write comments at least use spell check and check your grammar so you don’t seem like an idiot. It’s affinity not infinity. And waste not waist. Im sure you’re millennial snowflakes who spent most of their time in school posting on social media. Morons.
By doing this drivers will likely be more alert around him and thus look up from the phone and be safer. Unique and lovely idea
Lots of grumpy old ladies in this comment section.
Lighten up girls
Its crazy how many fucking haters are out there what the hell does it matter how someone spells shit, you understood exactly what they wete trying to say so shut the fuck up and keep your hate to your self. Talking about global crisis, if your that concerned about the so called crisis put a gun to your head and pull the trigger fucking nitwits. Great invention good laughs that was a great job you are bad ass
I know I’m just an dumb ass smoking a cigarette. But why isn’t there a swivel seat mounted on the drives seat and with todays transmission, a button to switch pedals. So when your backing up, mostly a work or recreational activity, your seated right hand drive looking directly where you are steering. Why do trucks not have this capability?
