    IFS and rat rod just don't belong in the same sentence. Tube or I-beam is the only way to go.

    I saw that too Henry.

    Does a Rat Rod really need a sexy IFS?

    I guess if Boyd or Chip built it then it would

    I thought the sexy part of a rat rod was in scabbing things laying around together to make it functional, unique, and 'cool'.

    well the thing is i am using whatever i can scrounge up and since i don't have any suspension i'm just looking at all options...i don't care if the pickup is a true rat rod or not but i want something quality at the same time...not some cobbled up contraption...but i like the look with the chopped top and small box n what not...

    thanks,
    Jeremy
