Frame was originally a mtb frame. All the green areas are the new metal I put in. I never had the frame built up before doing the modifications.
Edit: I think bmx frames would, at least nowadays, have slightly steeper head angles, more like 74-76deg but that’s not much eh?
I’ll measure it up and plot it out on the computer and see where things are.

Assuming you’ve got the same head tube angle as the bmx, I guess being able to ride your cycle truck with no hands depends on whether you could ride the original bmx no handed with that wheel and tyre. If you never had the original bike, you might never know.
Can you do a plot to see where the contact patch is on the ground? Draw a line through the head tube centre and it should pass through the contact patch +/- not too much. If it’s way forward or backward of that, the handling will suffer.
