Saw this before possibly here. Looks like a child's toy. Hard wheels & steering wheel that is out of proportion.
I don't remember anything else about it other than it is cool!

The rear axle is out of a different model Simplex with side mounts. Yours appears to be a dual frame with a dual side mount rear axle.. I didn't even know they fit. Looks to have an aluminum bolt in floor pan not the steel welded in floor pan. It also has the heavy steel petals. Is the steering wheels rubber dipped? I think you have the front married to a different back end. Tom Thorin is the everything Simplex expert.
