A truck that likes to swim, a boy’s love for the Mustang and some NASCAR sponsor news.

FOX News Radio’s Jennifer Keiper has our weekly look at things with wheels in “FOX Wheels“:

It’s FOX Wheels.

It’d probably make the ‘Duck Dynasty’ guys drool.

A four-wheel drive truck that, with the press of a button, makes the tires on the “Humdinga” retract — turning it into a boat.

It can go normal land speeds…

(Gibbs) “But it can go on water also at 35-miles per hour.”

Founder Alan Gibbs tells us no truck has gone more than nine-miles per hour on water.

The Michigan-based company is pitching it for use in disaster situations.

Nine-year-old Eli Williams of Alabama is battling brain cancer for a second time.?His wish? To see a Ford Mustang being built.?He loves the car…

(Williams) “‘Cause it goes fast.”

The nine-year-old took a break from chemo, touring the only place the Mustang is built: Michigan’s Flat Rock Assembly Plant.

(Plant Manager Tim Young) “When you put this hat on – you get to be the plant manager for the whole day.”

He says the whole thing was – neat.
