Re: Rat Rod 73-87's
wow never knew my truck was a "rat rod". That term was unheard of when I built it... and personally I take offense to it.
Anyway, the wheels are 17x8 wheel vintiques smoothies with 4 inch back spacing. Posted via Mobile Device |

Re: Rat Rod 73-87's
The term "Rat Rod" is way over used. Just because a car/truck has primer paint and painted wheels doesn't make it a "Rat Rod". I get the term thrown at my truck all the time and I politely walk away.
Our trucks are too new to fit the Rat Rod definition, at least from my viewpoint. Seriously, if a mid 70's 80's pickup is a Rat Rod because it has red wheels, does that make a red wheeled Toyota Sentra a Rat Rod too? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rat_rod

Re: Rat Rod 73-87's
When I started looking at this I thought I would see a 73-87 RAT ROD. Does anyone have any pictures of a rad chopped cab or different front end "RAT ROD TRUCKS" . After all these pictures it should be changed to "old primer trucks 73-87"
I would love to see inspiring Rat Rod Truck Pictures. |

I completely agree. Around here people label their POS's as "ratrod" and then try to sell them for twice what they are actually worth. Most of the trucks I have seen pictured here look nice to me. Posted via Mobile Device |

Re: Rat Rod 73-87's
I dont think it's possible to have a "Rat Rod" c10! unless you chopped and channeled a cab to fit on some kind of a roadster frame, flat black trucks are not "Rat Rods"!!.......To help me explain....These are "Rat Rods"....

Re: Rat Rod 73-87's
To put the 88-91 suburban front end on a 75, you'll need to swap the hood, fenders, core support, cowl, lights, grilles, bezels, hood hinges and the inner fenders are different, but I don't think enough to need to change them
