"There are eye-popping restomods, and then there are ones that are in a league of their own. This one by Aaron Buck of Milk Man Concepts is surely something that you don't see on an ordinary day. Meet the Cab Over Evolved, built out of a Ford pickup cab having a 5.9-liter Cummins 6BT turbodiesel inline-six salvaged from a 1991 Dodge D250 as its guts. This thing looks straight out of the Mad Max world, fused with Hot Wheels action. I still can't imagine this is not an AI-generated vehicle design; in fact, it is a road-legal monster ready to take on anything in its path."
"The six-wheeled cab-over-engine custom truck rides on front 24-inch wheels, and 28-inch wheels on the rear for more stability. You could compare it to a flatbed trailer in a small package but with the same aggressive stance, and of course, the intimidating look. When initially created in 2021, inspired by the Hot Wheels Ed 'Big Daddy' Roth, this behemoth was called the 1991 Dodge D200. Aaron wanted to make this one street-legal, hence the proportions of a toy car slathered onto the robust Ford steel cab. Later on, this monster came to be known as Cab Over Evolved."
"Starting from the raw steel body of the Ford, he shortened the chassis roof for a low-slung look. Then he extended the body into new sections and modified the fenders for the new body shape. The added body section was secured using running boards for the structural integrity of the final unified body. Mind you, all these body parts are made out of steel, making the vehicle a moving rampage machine if some protagonist takes the wheel. Other than the main body chassis and the engine, the donor RAM and Dodge components were used to build this vehicle. The Hotrod cab has a tubular chassis and independent front suspension for a smoother ride. To secure the twin rear axles, there is a four-link suspension system, and the rig supplies the power via a 46RH four-speed automatic gearbox."
A six-wheeled Cab Over Evolved merges a shortened Ford pickup cab with a 5.9-liter Cummins 6BT turbodiesel from a 1991 Dodge D250. The build uses 24-inch front and 28-inch rear wheels for stability and an aggressive stance inspired by Hot Wheels Ed 'Big Daddy' Roth. Steel body panels were reworked, extended, and unified using running boards for structural integrity. Donor RAM and Dodge components supply many parts, while a tubular chassis, independent front suspension, four-link rear setup, and a 46RH four-speed automatic gearbox provide the drivetrain and suspension foundation for a road-legal restomod.
