Just use an engine and transaxle out of a front wheel drive Eldo or Toronado and put it in the bed and problem solved. A friend of mine had his 460 Ford under the tilt bed of his 40 Ford COE and drove it all over the US had what looked like a wood crate sitting on the bed that was his engine cover/dog house. The truck had a regular hoist setup for a flatbed dual wheel truck on it.

48 Chev 3100 that will run a 292 Six.
71 GMC 2500 that is getting a Cad 500 transplant.
77 C 30 dualie, 454, 4 speed with a 10 foot flatbed and hoist. It does the heavy work and hauls the projects around.
