Re: Rat Rods
Yes the bed is from that era. It was on there when I bought it. I'm going to keep it on because it's a little different the everybody's.

Re: Rat Rods
So what truely defines a ratrod anyway? Does the truck have to be a primer/flat neutral color, red rims, and WWW tires? I always thought thats what the term stood for. Very cool concept, in my opinion. You guys are doing great!
I always figured a HOTrod to be a classic put together from various, used aprts by an amateur mechanic to produce speed. IS this true? I consider my 67 to be a hotrod.

Re: Rat Rods
in my opinion its untouched in aprearance this includes factory paint. wheels can change except no twentys and low pros those are for esclades and you ********folks out there. the only modification is a ton of horsepower thrown between the fenders and maybe lowerd a little .
