sic you already have a great pa teena on yours. theres an old logging skidder down the road that has a 30's era looking cab on it and I thought how crazy that would be to rat rod it toss an old henry flaty or lincoln between the rails not many would know what it was.

That would be awsome!!! Although we would need a group name like PB curb hangers or something.

Rat rods are way cool. Most of our 4x4 stuff falls into a "rat rod" of the 4x4 world. PB curb hangers I'd go for that(or even "Dead End Cruiser") I like your 34 looks like your are off to a goode start. The wife wanted to learn to weld and fabricate so we started on her own version of a 27 Ford T bucket. She has the skeleton of the body mostly done, made mostly out of recycled car parts for left over projects. Keep us updated on the project!

Haven't got anymore done. I've been lazy and need to do some work to the race jeep. My daughter will be 8 next year and want to race too, so I go to modify the steering, pedals and seat.

Found some pics of a couple trucks for ideas. I really like the first one (36 Ford). I just need to find time to start on this thing.

im stuck in the ratrod and pin up lifestyle and your truck almost gave me a stiffy. it would look mean if when you cut the pillars you made the front a 1/2 lower than the back to give it that pissed off junkyard dog look
