rat rod truck
OK, here's what I'm thinking. I'm getting to where I need $$$ for the Plymouth. Ive got a good chassis and flathead six drivetrain under my 48 Dodge parts car. How about strip the body off, sandblast and paint the frame and drivetrain, and drop it a few inches front & back. I've got access to a 49 Chevy truck shell. Channel it a few inches, throw on the old bed and a beater grill with some headlight buckets, paint the wheels red, mexican blanket on the seat; what do you think? I'd probably make a better profit off of a running, driving rat rod (I hate that word and I promise to never use it again)than parting out the remains of the parts car. Am i nuts?
You're welcome Mike, glad it worked out for you. Roger, it's taken a few years but my inventory of excess parts has shrunk a fair bit from 1 1/2 garage stalls to about an eight by eight space. ...
