    Back in the day, we did this with a IH Travelall. We filled the back half with bundles of newspapers and had five guys hanging off the rear bumper. Only one of us was old enough to have a drivers license! 😉 We had to do it on a hill because the engine didn't have enough guts. Great fun that had us laughing our asses off - until we grenaded the trans!

    I have a 1970 Dodge Commander Motorhome with the rarer from what I've seen 413 Industrial engine in it. It runs pretty good and has really, really low miles for its age. It also has 4;56 rear gears and surprisingly 16-inch rims and tires on it. It also has the best transmission the converted push button transmission to dash shifted. Stock it has a decent 265 net hp and around 400 lb feet of torque.
    I've been really wanting to do something different with it like a complete custom lighter rebody. Keep it an RV but remade light as possible and boost the power output and MPG.
    I live close to Kingman so it would be fun to bring it to the rt 66 drag races and run it.
    Why don't you guys open up the floor and move the engine and transmission rearward? That is what they do with most wheelie cars and trucks. Shouldn't be that hard to do with a sawzall and a welder!
