We need more people like this. We're sick of Internet trolls, but we sure could do with more of them in the real life, and the man who made this vehicle is clearly one of the best.
I mean, there is no rational reason for him to put all the effort necessary to build something as profoundly useless as this truck other than to mess with other people's minds. And as long as you're not one of those creepy illusionists who make things disappear into thin air, screwing with the heads of your fellow men is cool.
When parked, one could just go past the truck thinking it was really unfortunate for such a well maintained Ford F-150 to be flipped over, but what can you do? These things happen. You might get the feeling something was a bit off, but you're a busy man who doesn't have time to waste - if nobody's screaming from under the car, let the police or the fire department handle it.
On the road, though, this will wrap your brain around for a moment or two, twist it really good and then release it with a big "ahaaa" coming out of your mouth as the penny finally drops. That's not a pickup truck riding on its roof, it's a car with an upside down pickup body. How could you even think otherwise?
The name of the man who built it is Rick Sullivan. He can often be seen driving it with his dog as his passenger, surrounded by people with cameras who all want to take its picture. Just like the man who snapped this one you see here. The rig is essentially a '91 Ford Ranger with the flipped over body of a Ford F-150 bolted onto it. It took him six months to build, and it set Rick back about $6,000, but he says it was all worth it.
The idea came after he was asked to rescue a Ford Ranger pickup that had rolled over in 10-inches deep snow. He saw the car with the wheels sticking out and thought to himself "I can recreate that." The rest you can see here. Rick has no intention of selling the vehicle even though we can imagine he's had a fair share of offers. What's more, he has his mind set on another project, but he's secretive about it. We just hope it's not flipping the F-150 back to its original position.
