Hi Rat Rodders
So when I was a kid back in the mid 1960's there was this bobber style truck like the one pictured here but (this is a current build of course) I would like to build one with more like it was built back in early 1960's. The truck I remember was pretty crude from construction end of things, it was low but not too low, even had the crazy beer keg on the back. I think it had hanging pedals too, big stick shift transmission sticking up inside the cab...
So how did young guys with little or no money drop these cabs down in the pre-1965 era?
Motors I cant remember what it was...not sure if it was small block or flat head of maybe could have been a big 6 cylinder.
I wanted to build a model A next but I got scared off by the prices of everything model A....so I got to thinking about this local truck I remember from my childhood...
thanks for any insight.
