Popular Post other dog Posted January 17, 2015 Popular Post Share Posted January 17, 2015 This was sorta-kinda interesting, to me anyway- I watched a video of this White-I took this picture at the "White Bash" at the Keystone Tractor Museum a couple of years ago.And they were interviewing the owner- What caught my attention was when he said he bought it from a car lot on rt. 86 between Danville, Va. and Yanceyville, N.C. He said if he hadn't bought it it would have been crushed.I remember seeing the truck, an old Frederickson unit. It sat there for several years and I called the number on the sign to see how much they wanted for it, but I never got an answer. That was just before I bought the B53 mixer, and I probably would have bought it if they had answered the phone, and been on bigwhitetrucks.com instead of here- how lucky can you be?...............well, anyhow,here's a couple of drive-by pictures I took of it when it was on rt. 86- 5 Quote Producer of poorly photo-chopped pictures since 1999.

Popular Post jakebrake86 Posted January 17, 2015 Popular Post Share Posted January 17, 2015 That's a neat story. I've always liked those trucks. I think I liked it better in the bottom two pics, though. 6 Quote Jake Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/38479-white-rat-rod/#findComment-274636 Share on other sites More sharing options...
other dog Posted January 17, 2015 Author Share Posted January 17, 2015 That's a neat story. I've always liked those trucks. I think I liked it better in the bottom two pics, though.I did too, it was a good solid looking truck, with no visible rust or bents, just a few vines growing on it.

MHfred Posted January 17, 2015 Share Posted January 17, 2015 I talked to the owner and he said he had to put smaller tires on it to slow it down. He said it cruised good at about 80 MPH.

Superdog Posted January 17, 2015 Share Posted January 17, 2015 Ever time I see something like that I always hope that they used some basket case or odds and ends,and not butcher a good solid piece. Looks like it was the latter in this case,too bad. 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/38479-white-rat-rod/#findComment-274650 Share on other sites More sharing options...
41chevy Posted January 17, 2015 Share Posted January 17, 2015 Better than scrapped. Long as the owner likes it good for him.

grayhair Posted January 17, 2015 Share Posted January 17, 2015 That is one crazy looking machine. I think he put more work into it than obvious at first glance.

mike69mackman Posted January 17, 2015 Share Posted January 17, 2015 I agree with superdog. I prefer original rather than this custom butchery that seems to be the fad these days. 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/38479-white-rat-rod/#findComment-274681 Share on other sites More sharing options...
