yeah we had seen a orange one in cary on craigslist and when we went to buy it it was gone then when we bought this we figured out that it was the same truck it had just been repainted

rat rod is such ugly words... and plus those words only apply to anything older than '66 ;)

if you ever want to get rid of those steering wheel let me know.. i have a really nice wood grain aftermarket one.

Looks good. How was it lowered? Are those blacked out back-up lights going to pass inspection? Let's see some engine pix!

i like it alot. its not over the top or anything. i would put some bigger wheels on it though.

well in north carolina if its older than a 72-75 you dont have to have it inspected. the truck has been lowered but we bought it with those tiny cragars on it and we are thinking about putting some 18s on it with low profile rims or racing wheels and i will post a pic of the engine today

No way keep it old school!! Cragers and the white walls

Really cool! I would keep the cragars, but put a little thicker/fatter tires on them. Maybe even put really fat tires on the bak, for a little rake.

Now I see that the back ones allready are bigger, but put the back ones in front and buy bigger tires for the back!

adbell1684 · Post by **adbell1684** » Wed Aug 27, 2008 5:54 pm

i was looking at some bigger cragars with wide tires on the back

That truck looks very stock to me, other than the wheels, why do you call it a rat rod?

I thought those names were for ratty old modified cars and trucks???
Seems to me too nice to call it names

I know I know from a different generation, now Bitchin,Cherry, Cool those are WORDS

adbell1684 · Post by **adbell1684** » Thu Aug 28, 2008 6:18 pm

the main thing that was done was the truck was lowered. some other small things. the reason we call it a rat rod is it doesnt look the best but we are making it mechanically sound exactly what a rat rod is.

Go with the new 18" or 20" cragers and some tall tires!
