New guy from OKC
Hey everyone, I'm J.R.. I've got a little sbc S10 currently, but leaning on building a ratrod/streetrod in the near future if I can sell the S10. A good friend of mine has a wide variety of options of what I can build as he has several frames and body options. I definetly like the whole ratrod things, but I like fast hotrods too. So I'm shooting for building one on the cheap as much as possible, but still maybe street and a bit of strip fun. Just something light that'll be a blast to cruise around in and run fairly quick. So I'll be poking around here and likely to be asking lots of questions. :)

Welcome to the forum, losiman. There's lots of knowledge here to specific questions. You might use the Search function to go back in time, too.

S-10. Chop the top off at the cowl. Fashion a 6" tall windscreen from Lexan with a hand-operated wiper to satisfy the safety Nazis. Toss the hood and front fenders. Gut the interior, including all the garbage inside the doors. Mount two plastic kitchen chairs. Fabricate a straight 2"x4" frame. Mount a '28 A radiator shell. Mount a 500" Eldorado complete front drive package up front. Remove the bed. Mount a 500" Eldorado complete front drive package out back. Fabricate a sheet metal bed box. There now, 1000 cubic inches of 4X4 fun. :D

Tempting, but I actually sold the truck today. So now I will be looking into the street rod avenue. I see lots of rods I really like but I don't know the body styles well enough to know what they are. So I'll have to do some serious research soon. Thanks for the welcomes.
