An amphibious vehicle having a hull that includes a pod formed in the bottom of the hull for receiving the engine and drive train. The pod is concave down with respect to the balance of the hull. Foam filled compartments formed lateral to the pod assure buoyancy and stability. Truck engine, transmission, suspension and control system components are carried by the hull and used to move the amphibious vehicle on land and, using the power take off of the engine to drive a marine propulsion system, on water as well. A first drive shaft, turned by the engine, extends through the hull to connect operatively with an axle and rotate front and rear sets of wheels. A second drive shaft runs from the engine through the hull wall to the marine propulsion system.
