Oh, A few more details:
I won it on ebay for $5700.
It has a 283 w/ 350 trans.
I want to put front disc brakes,
And most likely some sort of steampunk theme...
I like the front grille! MAD MAX baby!
This is awesome, nice one!
I generally am turned off by the term "Rat Rod", but that looks like a nicely built truck. I like the grille, too! Not sure what you mean by "rat rod wheels & tires" - the steelies you have now are period correct, and fit the "look" very well, IMO. Maybe a different color on the wheels?? I would just drive it!
um, Aren't we in the "Rat Rod" forum?Quote:

It's a cool truck, but you seem to be offended by my comments so I'll bow out.Quote:

It's all good. I do consider it a rat...
I think you misunderstood "RSPEARS" his comment was complimentary not disrespectful.
"RSPEARS” is one of the kindest members on this board, I don’t believe he would say anything to intentionally hurt anyone.
AND it is a GOOD Rat Rod! I especially like the pie pan floor board patch panel.
Personally, I wouldn't class it as a rat, it's too clean, the work looks first class.
Looks like a rat to me.
I like the lines & theme, metal work looks straight. You going to take it any further? Great touch driving over the camera have not seen that one before.
