Popular Post j hancock Posted December 19, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted December 19, 2014 Hope the new owner keeps it as original as possible. A shame to have it turn into a rat rod. 3 Quote JimIt doesn't cost anything to pay attention.

ranchhopper Posted December 19, 2014 Author Share Posted December 19, 2014 Yes and in California they use a lot of them for that the bid is over 5K right now for it.

Speed Posted December 24, 2014 Share Posted December 24, 2014 Anyone who'd pay over 5K for something to rat is nuts. the whole concept for rat rodding was to build a driver from whatever you had lying around,then people started paying STUPID huge money for rat rods. I think the market's about gone now though. Unless a guy had ALL the good stuff on a pick up like this I don't think he could get 5K for it ratted. I could be wrong though-I tend to underestimate the idiocy of many of those with the bucks to buy whatever interests them without checking their finances first.
