I just joined here and figured I'd post up about my project. Kind of a repost, but here goes...
After years of wanting to, I've started gathering parts to build myself a rat rod. So far it will be late model by Rat Rod standards. A 65 f100 cab and chassis, I plan to chop and channel it and power will come from a 97 power stroke diesel. so far the bill is 520 and two cases of beer... I plan on using a dually rear and tires. I have to decide weather to shorten a 64 stepside bed I have and fab a radiator housing(or find one) to go fenderless, or shorten a unibody bed and lengthen the cowl. I'm going to use a big rig fuel tank in the bed and a stack straight off the back of the turbo... I can't wait to get it rollin...
 
Well there may be a change of plans here...

A guy that lives near me caught wind of the project and offered a 50s f600 or similar sized and vintage IH truck, for scrap price.:)

I'm gonna check them out this weekend....
