21ft Trucktopus Is An 8 Wheeled FREAK | RIDICULOUS RIDES

TRANSFORMING a standard pick-up truck into an eight-wheel, 21ft-long beast has taken a Tennessee man 20 years and some “epic man-hours”. Steve Francis, 48, has customised nearly every aspect of his truck, lowering the body by three and a half inches, adding six 20-inch rims, packing in a V8 engine, and adding suicide doors. The vehicle started life as a plain 1989 Isuzu LS SpaceCab, but since being transformed has won numerous competitions and taken home multiple trophies at car shows. Steve, who owns his own towing company, told Barcroft Media: “When you get that feeling of winning a ‘best of show’, a ‘best overall’, that is such an incredible feeling and adrenaline rush.

I agree. I wouldn't build one but it is beautiful
Very cool, one of a kind... Most trucks you see out there at shows just use stuff right off the shelf and act like they did something.... Kudos for being 100% original
Allot of options for tire rotation

Now would that be a Octollys
This is very cool! I always wanted to do a triple axle treatment or put tandem front wheels on one of my vehicles. Yeah, you'll definitely notice a difference in how wide to take corners when you take this out for the first time after modifying it from stock. I think the biggest pain would be the excess tire wear when they scrub against the asphalt on the sharp turns.
You wanna know something crazy, A late 70’s Lincoln continental is only about 1 foot shorter
This man's great sense of humor is indicated by his vanity plate "DETAIL" which is kapakai (a little Hawaiian lingo for ya). Krazy nice build!
This truck is iconic in the scene and has been around a while I love the triple axles
