Sweet!!!!!!!!!
 
Just remember that your stoker/fireman/engineer in the back needs to wear a safety harness. Rick
 
Did you happen to check out all the pictures? I love the custom Gas/Wood toggle switch!

This is really scary, showed the pics to the wife and she wants me to bid on it. She never lets me buy anything.
 
there is tons of this stuff if you look around. the technology has been around for about as long a internal combusiton engines. in the 40's the government did lots of studies with fema for use with farm equipment if bad things happend over seas and we couldnt get oil any more. third world contries that pull cars with horses use this stuff still. good ideas for the future though. 9i would rather burn wood than oil. much more around.
 
I think the most incredible part is the claim that the truck gets 20MPG on gas plus hauling all that stuff around in the back!! My old 93 bronco would be lucky to do 13mpg with a tailwind!
