lt1s10 - Yeah, I don't really think of the truck as hotrod, but it's "more of a rod" than the dat.

As far as getting "just the look" of the rat rod. I plan on building it as a mix of true rat, and what I think I would need. Some may think it's dumb, but I still wanna drive it everyday if I build one. It needs to be structurally sound, and operate correctly. But it will be as low a budget as I can. I guess I need to build it "up" enough, that my g/f will still ride with me . So that may be the minimum requirements. It's not like it's gonna beautiful, or have an LT1, or have much money invested at all.
