Many many moons ago (20ish years) I stumbled across this in the deserts in the outskirts of Flagstaff, Arizona. From memory he was adding a Supercharger.

Excuse the quality it's a photo of a 20year old photo.

Ever since seeing a Model A 4x4 hot rodded tray back truck on Fraser  once, and having kids I reckoned a 4x4 dual cab version would be cool .
But done in an aged / weathered condition along the lines of this O'l girl .
