The Rudy truck was/is a 35 Ford cab chopped 7 inches, and channelled 7 too IIRC It sits on 112 wheelbase. It started a lot of trends most notably what has morphed into the bobber truck. Personally I don't think you can nail the Rudy look with a cab much newer or not chopped. You definitely are not going to hit the target with a late 30s or newer unchopped cab IMO.

1.5 million miles so far still going strong.
In the very first post, the green/grey 35 is the original "Rudy" truck. When Rudy sold it the new owners wife didn't like the Mexican puntas on the door so it was repainted. Rudy now has possession of it again repainting it as original for another owner.
