Ironworks Unibody Ranch Truck. As Seen in Truckin Magazine
 

Ironworks was asked by Truckin Magazine to build a Follow up truck to the C6-57 project. After Del Mar this year I was trying to think of a unusual body style that would work. Well I found this truck on Craigslist on a pig ranch about 40 miles north of my shop for 350 bucks. It looks rough in the pic, But it is actually pretty cherry.

We plan to Build one of our laser cut square tube chassis's. It will have a 5" ride height with 20's and 22's. We are looking at either the Ford aluminator engine or 3 valve engine. Either way it will have a blower with an auto trans.
We are looking at some New Budnik wheels for the project with some BFG tires. Wilwood will be handling the stopping duties. We have a few minor body mods and she will be covered in Ford Grabber blue from the new 2010 Ford Mustangs.

Here is shot of the amazing Rendering From Carter Hickman. His wife said this was her Favorite, so we might be on to something. Plus a shot of here previous life as a scrap metal bin on a pig Farm in Ducor, California.

Should have some more pics very soon

I need new shorts...

when I look at the stuff this shop does and the fact that they guy running it is so young it makes me think my whole life has been a waste.

Nice stuff right there.... you can see 50/50 and Rich Allen s car in a few pics..

Very cool! I love the color scheme you have planned for it with the wheels!

The Rodger and his crew at Ironworks have some serious talent no doubt! Having had a tour there of recent I saw some of the amazing projects in the works first hand. The talent, thought and execution are second to none. :thumbsup:

Keep up the killer work guys! The Ranch truck is going to be awesome & Carter did an amazing job on the rendering!

.... and there is a bitchin' convertible in the mix too!

The Ranch Truck frame is looking really good.

Just found my new fav. thread to follow wow those wheels look amazing! good luck on the build.

Like the look of the frame,Top notch as always Rodger.

Damn..you guys don't waste anytime :hail:

I can't wait to see more pics awesome build!!!

I've watched them put together the laser cut frame and I have to say that the tolerances are so close you could almost not weld it and it would stay together!!!:bow:

We have been waiting on Crossshafts for the upper control arms for a while. Once I finally got them in my hands, my computer took a dump and I'm working to get everything back on line. I might have some thing soon, but the Chassisworks Camaro is going to force this to the back burner for a bit.

Rodger

killer project job well done you guys have skills!:thumbsup: :thumbsup:

Cool truck. I really like the rendering. We did a custom chassis for one of these a few years back, but the customer never went any further on the build.

5" the sounds high even for you

how about 4" ??

ps now i see why Carter has been so busy

Truck looks awesome as usual

Marty,

Even without this project, Carter has always been busy!

See you (and Carter) in Columbus! I'll be driving out with Rodger.


--Eric

Just to make it public, Eric says we will have 20 sets of wheels designed by Kansas.

Rodger

Or one person duct taped to the seat so he can't talk anymore

ps - I am fairly certain Kenny won't allow me to ride with him to Vegas I may talk his ear off or blind him with the Flash my camera.

.... (gulp!).........
