Barn Find! Chevy Truck go-kart!
I've been trying to research this go-kart but haven't found much. They seem to be fairly rare. I found this website and thought you would enjoy seeing this old go-kart. The manufacturer is F.W. & Associates Mini Cars. They made a lot of the old Shriner go-karts. It's possible this could have been used in parades by Shriners but who knows. My father-in-law found it and gave it to me for my 40th birthday
 It came with the numbers matching drivetrain It was missing a few parts but my father-in-law sourced the missing parts and rebuilt the engine. I just need to drop the engine back in it and go for a cruise!  I'm on the fence about cleaning it up or just leaving the body in barn find condition.

Re: Barn Find! Chevy Truck go-kart!
Seriously jealous right now. I even have a cbr600 engine waiting for the right go-kart home too.

Re: Barn Find! Chevy Truck go-kart!
I have seen a few of these over the years although most of them aren't in that good of shape. I love it!
