My second rat rod. Having more fun with this one than the first. I'm calling this front suspension "staggered perpendicular quarter elliptical". Flying Goddess is a gift from a friend. Doing a front to back fender swap, using the old louvered inner fenders as fender skirts. Air bagging the...

Wanted to share a couple of pics since adding some lettering and the hood cowl, (made from left over fender metal as was the visor).

Took the 47 to first car show this past April. Only a few Rats there but we took home best in class. Drew a crowd all day. About a week later my wife and I were out for a spin and a local police officer decided I needed a warning for cutting a red light too close. Didn't get a ticket, so I...

Found a 1930, I think convertible because of the bold holes around top of body, and would like to know what it is worth. Very little to no rust, floor cut out from earlier channel attempt and has a fiberglass skinned trunk lid. No frame but does have complete windshield. Body only, no...

Well, this project will never be 100% complete, but the build is most of the fun. Started out with a complete 47' dump. This is what rolled out of the shop after almost a year. I have not kept track of the hours I have in it. BBC, TH400. Have a couple hundred miles on it now. Rolls...

Just bought a TH400 out of a motorhome. It had the brake assembly on it. At the junkyard we pulled off the brake assembly housing and slid on a short tail housing. It appears to fit correctly and match all diagrams of the TH400 I can find. Any thoughts?

Hey, I want to thank everyone for your help over the past year. This started out as a 1 1/2 ton dump. Browsing this site and checking out your rides, builds and comments was a great help. Like having a real smart buddy in the shop. I have a short list of things to wrap up after work tonight...

Had to put a small bend in drag link to clear left tire when in full left turn. Drag link is heavy wall 1" ID. I think its good but wouldn't mind some thoughts. Thanks.

Having a blast with the old Ford dumptruck in the backwoods of Missouri.

Just bought a 47 Ford that I believe is a 1.5 ton. Would like to use the front axle but not the original wheels. Is there spindles that will fit and give me some options on wheels or am I going to have to swap out the entire axle?
