New Turbo Rat. First trip to town.

[Aerial]

been using the site but havent posted my truck yet so here it is.

[bcubed]

I bought my truck 20 years ago, a poor dumb kid in college and it's just never seemed to get going. This is the state it is currently and it's been there for years .. I hope to get working on it again this year. I also have the frame already modified with a Camaro clip up front. Original plans were for a Blown Pro Street look, but since so many years have passed I'm now shooting for smoothed, billet wheels and more a street rod look with probably an LS1 based engine.

Combination of 1955 and 1959 parts .. but will end up a 1955

Cab is pretty near to done, rounded door corners


Shaved Firewall


Doors shaved with reversed latches



Shaved Dash


Shaved Drip Rails






Hopes is to have something along these lines (pictures I found), air suspension, billet wheels, smoothed out.

Father/Son project.....
today Pops got to drive his 46 out of the garage for the first time, 6 yrs in the process....he got discouraged last summer and never though he would get done after a driver T-boned him on his Sportster...a few months to recover and I moved back here to Ok. to inspired and help him get it on the road for this summer...was just a chassis with cab mounted then...this shot was first time he got to drive...on the way to get new exhaust....probably won't see him much as I'm sure he has a few hundred people to show it off to as he has been bragging about it for the last 6 yrs :-)
BTW...he is 76 and all work except the motor and final paint was done by us

57 3200 , old NC farm truck , found near Hanging Rock state Park. It has 5 inch dropped axle , and 12 inch c notch with axle flip in the rear..More pictures coming soon.

[junkadelic]

Just found this shot of us pulling it out of the woods. It had been sitting since 91,,, but had a title and a 283!! that wasnt locked up ,, That engine fired right up with points and plugs changed. Not bad for 500$.. Just heavy surface rust with a few holes here and there. I have been wanting to post pics of the build, just have to bum computer time from my bro!

[av8tr33337]

Sweet find. Looking forward to see what you do with it.

[pvienneau]

Love the patina on those old farm finds. Keep posting. Do you plan on customizing or preserving original?

[Green 1959]

So cool to see so many projects. Check out my build on My 58 Fleetside.

These are 3 photos from my '53 Chevy truck project. We are using the frame from a friends '53 Chevy truck. He wants my frame because he likes the way it is set up. The frame we are using has been blasted and painted. We put the Chassis Engineering IFS on to make sure everything fit. We will dissasemble it and paint it and then re-attach it. This is a complete bolt on unit and was easy to install once you get the initial 2 front holes drilled on the frame at the proper distance. The instructions make it a user friendly install. I have a 1976 Camaro rear differential that I will buff all the surface rust off and paint and install. then it is a matter of transferring the engine and transmission, and body, painting, installing the wooden bed and upholstering the inside. I will also have the steering column shaft shortened as I am going to make a full console and install a B&M Floor shifter. Great project and it keeps me home.

Here's mine...

looks great.

Welcome to amateur hour! I have the bed off my '49 3100, getting ready to clean up the frame. A friend with a welder will be coming over to fix a couple of spots, then we'll seal 'er up (probably with KBS, which I used on the interior) and be just about ready to roll...
