Guess if you have enough $$$$$ and time---anything's possible. This takes the cake for the use of the word "Hybrid."

The headlights make it look a little sad...

I guess im still trying to figure it out. What was the point?

Why ruin a perfectly good Kenworth to put it on a 1 ton chevy frame? Wouldn't it have made more sense to just restore the KW to it's former glory and perfection? And then do a Cummins Conversion into the Chevy as it was? Then you have 2 awesome trucks instead of one silly one that is way over GVW.

I am not knocking the quality of the work mind you. I just don't get what it is useful for. Good luck finding a buyer.

That was my first thought, too. It takes talent to pull that off, but it takes smarts to know WHAT to try and pull off

Ya I was at a loss too as to why you would do that, looks like he did a nice job buy why? I would rather have had the restored KW and Cummins Chevy but to each their own. Don't see him getting $35K for it, not sure anyone will want it even at a much lower price
