Rear Engine '37 Plymouth Pickup
By Rob Einaudi
Editor-in-Chief
This was the craziest thing I saw Sunday at the All Mopar Spring Round-Up in Issaquah. It's a '37 Plymouth pickup with a 500 cubic inch Cadillac engine out of a FWD Eldorado--in the bed. Just check out that exhaust. Gary, who built this radical rod, has had it up to 120 mph and has plans to take it out to the Salt Flats later this year. More pics after the jump.

People are stupid. Obviously they used a FWD tranny. They fully eliminated the rearend and just used the transaxles. thats exactly what im doing with my corvair, except im using a buick 3800 supercharged.

The only way I would ever own a dodge is with a GM motor! That thing is killer sweet!
