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"....

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

and.......... Changing this front end makes it a Rat Rod? Is that why you are asking on this Rat Rod Post?

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.

Now these are pretty ratty to me. Majority of these trucks look like unfinished hot rods to me. :/ Nothing against them, but if you're going with rats, go with rats, if you go with a rod, get after it. To me vehicles left in between look a little odd to me. Keep on rollin though.

Re: Rat Rod 73-87's
There are a lot of kool c10's in here! could a spartan K10 count as a rat rod? It's flat black kinda, and it's pretty rough looking. Thinking about posting some pics lol.
