This p/u is different
 

I like the idea and design that went into the interior tin work, could have been executed a lil better. Ya know, some of these so called "rat rods" are really well done with some creativity and craftsmanship....this one, not so much.

Do people really think putting a nascar motor in any pos will make it do 200mph?

:buttkick:

I like it.

Either the seller doesn't know, is lying or it's a typo but that 358 is not making anywhere near 700 ft lbs. More like 500 something.

And while it may not do 200 mph, if it truly weights 1800 lbs, that sucker will scoot and be a handful.

I normally don't like rat rods but this one is cool. The front grill not being straight does bug the hell out of me though, lol.

I really dig it for the most part. Need to loose the "rat rod" spittoon on the carb and put some era correct tail lights on it! Not too sure if I like the rear suspension tho.
Bitchin truck cause its different tho!

Hopefully this thing was de-tuned for pump gas, and street ability. You'd never find a car salesman that would tell a lie to sell something. Probably no where near that power level anymore.

Probably the same people that think if you install a set of ported camel hump heads and a 3/4 cam, you'll run low 9's :headspin:

Pretty sure it's not a 1947 either....maybe it's a Canadian model?

:knokwood:

I actually hope it isn't detuned. :D

I like it, for the 80k it's not to bad. I change a few things to my taste but still very cool. You couldnt build it for that money, and I'm with Dave I sure hope it wasn't detuned or then it's just another rat rod.

There's NOTHING fun or exciting about a street vehicle that runs only on race gas. I have one, and there's a reason that it only has 4 miles it. They will never sell it unless it been de-tuned. Well, MAYBE if someone is looking for a rusty, 60 year old truck, for track duty. But I get what you guys are saying. It would be a RIP to run around in, as long as your not going far!

Oh come Scott, race gas on the street is a lot of fun!! :D there is no better smell than race gas on Friday night!

Now if you want to go across the country like a lot of guys do today then yes that would suck, but that truck is not built for that, it's built for (in GW words) Eeeeeehhhhhhaaaaaaa!!!!! <<<Or something like that :D
