King Kong rules the roadIf your vehicle suddenly is swamped by a large shadow, it may just be Dereiq McCalister driving beside you.
About a year ago, he welded together the front of a Ford F650 to the back of a Ford Excursion. Fittingly named "King Kong" on the license plate, the charcoal gray-colored truck is more than 8 feet tall, about 20 feet wide and about 25 feet long.
The Monroe resident had a Michigan company perform the welding job after he came up with the concept.
"I had no idea how big it actually was until I drove it," he said. "But I love it. It's a lot of fun to drive."
The truck is not only big, but loaded as well. It boasts 50-inch tires, two 50-gallon diesel fuel tanks, air-ride suspension and a Caterpillar diesel engine.
"Truck drivers love it. They will give me a thumbs up … it's crazy," he said.

My husband, Jim, saw this recently in Toledo. Says all he could think of about it was that the guy driving it was testosterone deprived!
