Hey guys,
I'm very new to the rat rod scene but have loved anything with a motor since I can remember! I recently purchased a 38 international pickup that has been for most part been ratted out already. I kinda bought it spontaneously on a online auction because nobody was bidding on it and I threw $1500 on it thinking someone else will bid higher than that! Well nobody did and now have a new project! Not sure if that was a good price or not but seemed to be a good price for me.
A little about the truck,
It has built up chrysler 360 with a 727 Torqueflite. The ignition has been updated. The rear end is out of a 72 Newport.
The plans are to update the suspension and lower it. I also want to make it a daily driver so the exhaust will also need some work! Other than that I will just play it by ear and see where it takes me.
I also can't wait for the snow to melt but that may be awhile up here in northern Minnesota!
