my 1940 Chevy with factory flatbed
hey guys, i recently bought this 1940 from a buddy of mine. it's all there just real rough. probably going to go the "rat rod" route with this one. z the frame, chop it, and channel it. and it's a factory flatbed. I've got three artillery wheels for it so ill just need to get one more and take off those 70's rally wheels

Re: my 1940 Chevy with factory flatbed
Looks like a solid (rough, but solid) truck. You planning on getting started on it soon?

Re: my 1940 Chevy with factory flatbed
i was wondering about those braces on the running boards. so those are a factory option?
ya i definately should stay busy haha i hope to get the chop started here in a few weeks. I'm going to school at Wyotech and will be taking street rod so ill be able to get the chop and possibly the channel done. thanks for all the interest guys

Re: my 1940 Chevy with factory flatbed
I love it. Are you going fenderless with the rat rod build?
I just saw the Overhaulin episode a couple days ago where they did a 67-72 longbed at Wyotech. Looks like a heck of a school.

Re: my 1940 Chevy with factory flatbed
I think that's what I'm gonna end up doing to my 39, only with a suicide front end.

Re: my 1940 Chevy with factory flatbed
