Just another desert Rat
Hello from the Sonoran Desert! Finished my 67 Chevy stepside over the winter and I've been scrounging around for a new project. This time something older, louder and a lot more obnoxious. I hate the term "RatRod." I want something that looks like a hotrod from the mid 50's so I've been on the lookout for a 34 or 35 Dodge Bros. pickup. There's just something about the front of that truck and I 've found several out here in the desert. The plan is to chop the top, drop the front and rear and stuff a 331 or maybe a 354 Hemi up front. There's just something about those motors....
Here's a couple of pics of my 67 and a candidate for the new project I found last weekend:
I saw last night on fb about John. The world sure lost a great one. I'm going to miss his humor, advice, and perspective from another portion of the world. Rest in Peace Johnboy.
