I'd like to suicide either one or both of my truck doors. There are a lot of kits out there of varying quality, pretty vague install instructions online. Have you done this? How did it go? Also, are there options that aren't electric or at least local electric and not a key fob "popper" to open...

Picked up this beauty to make an ice cream truck out of. Looks to be a retired postal truck, still has the stickered striped under this bad attempt at a paint job. It says it's an AMC 232 engine. Can I just buy parts for a 1973 AMC Matador with the same engine and assume it will fit ok? Does...

She's a beauty isn't she? So I ended up with a 1982 E150 in good running shape for almost nothing. I have absolutely no use for this behemoth but in staring at it I couldn't help but notice how far forward that front axle is. That got me thinking about the look that a stretched axle pickup...

Hey guys, I hope this is sort of the correct part of the forum. This is a little off topic, not a build or anything like that. It has always been on my bucket list to drive across route 66 in an old car of some sort. Last year I got a truck, my friend got a truck and then a friend of both of us...

Well I decided on black and I got the hubcaps I wanted on her. I need a windshield and I think i'd like to lower it. What else would set this truck off?

Could someone please Paint me some wheels? I'm interested in whether white or black with baby moon caps would look best but i'm also very open to suggestions. Sorry, I am one of those weird Mac people and I miss MS Paint something awful. Thanks! [P

If I had a ton of money I think an antique Coca-Cola cooler would be great. Wondering about a WWII Large Ammo Crate? Any other ideas out there? I've done several google searches and I don't see any good ideas yet.

Hi guys. Wow! What a blast from the past. I was searching paint schemes for my my new rat and I ran across a picture of my old '62 in a post I put on here over five years ago! Well now i'm facing the same question on my new rat. Should I leave the patina or paint the truck? I know satin black...

I've seen some interesting builds before but this one takes the cake. Still mulling over the why [S http://www.craigslist.org/about/best/knx/3091802234.html W - O - W - !

Well i'm not a noob to RRR but i'm not around a lot. Because of that I haven't shared much about this truck since I asked if it was worth buying. That was 3 months ago and i've been driving the truck every day since. She has the 305 Big Block V6 with the spark plugs sticking up out of the...

I'm sitting on seat springs right now and that was cute for the first 3 weeks of the season but it's starting to get old. So I need to either do some work to it or replace it with something else. I like the idea of using an old church pew for a seat, what do you think? P.S. If you need to...

This is on my 1963 GMC pickup, i've got a large flat transmission tunnel that I could mount about anything to. Does anyone have pics of vintage cup holders I may be able to scrounge up somewhere? Or do you know of something (a car part, tool, Coca Cola memorabilia etc.) that would make a neat...

I'm looking for suggestions on which way to head with this rat. My mind is running over several options but the only thing i'm pretty sure of is the bed. It has the wooden planks in it and I think i'm going to cover the wood with license plates and lay the metal strips back over them like stock...

Well I finally got some cash and summer cruising has consumed my mind. Having some old ratted tin to drive is all I can think about. I found a '63 gmc truck for sale with decent patina on it. It's a four speed stick and it has the 305 v6 engine in it which is pretty neat. If you don't know...

I ran a booth at this years Counts car show in Rapid City, SD and I snapped a few cell phone shots of the rat section I thought you guys might like, so here ya go;

You should see the looks I get from Prius owners with this thing :rolleyes:

I have decided i'm not crazy about my truck's patina and i'd like to go satin black (Rustoleum 7777). But as I snoop around the internet all the trucks I see in satin black appear to be in really straight condition. Have you seen any trucks painted satin that are in rough shape? How did they...

I'm talking about the sun visor that goes on the outside/top of the windshield, not the flip down visors inside the cab. I see plenty for pretty much anything from 1900-1950's and a few for the ford trucks in the 70's. But I can't find one example of a sun visor for any Ford trucks in the 60's...

I'm working with a '62 F100 here. It had 6 leafs up front (I-beam axle) stock, I took out the bottom three and dropped the front end a few inches, but of course I want more. I have fully researched flipping the axle, MII setups, dropped axles and drop leafs, however I have other things that i'd...

This may be a dumb question but i've been reading a bunch of articles on spring under conversions on my '62 F100 and all the associated bump steer and drag link issues. So that got me looking into drop beam axles and i'm wondering if that will leave me with the same issues or is it different...
