So sometime after these mods I pretty much stopped driving the truck, it just got to the point where the old steering was too dangerous. It sat in my basement from 2010 to fall of 2012. At which point I had pulled it out to start work on it. Shortly there after, I twisted the transmission up...

Also forgot to add, I mentioned my uncle's Pontiac, the original old red, here it is.

I'm not going to copy and paste the original build thread from other sites, because honestly, I've been working on this thing since like 2007, and its still not done, but anyway, I'll hit the highlights of the back story, and skip all the "ideas" that never came to play. I'll be updating the...

I'm working on a 72 C10 that's pretty rough, gonna be a shop truck look of sorts. I've also got a 1948 Ford F1 I'm working on. I just posted the 72 thread in the build section, working on the 48 thread now:D

Okay, all caught up! I know its not much progress, but hopefully that will change pretty soon. Really hoping to start making some moves that really gives it the old rusty shop truck look here very soon![P

3-30-2014 Hadn't touched the truck in a couple of weeks but I finally worked on it a little Saturday. I got my other project off the lift so I've got some free'd up inside space and time to work on her. It stopped running good right after I got it home and I wasn't 100% sure why. Its got a...

After cleaning the "carpet" I realized it still had to go, so I jerked it out to find a surprisingly pretty nice original mat underneath. Even with that birds nest of speaker wires, they actually work, along with the radio! Nothing screams 80's old school cool than a Kenwood tape player...

2-6-2014 Finally getting to work on it a little bit. Its been either snowing or cold weather or I was working on the Mustang or something something something. Anyway decided to take a break from the Mustang today and jump on this for a while. These were to be my before engine shots, but when I...

Inside is decent, one door panel is better than the other. Its got kind of a carpet, rubber mat, rust combo going on it the floor. Gonna get all this cleaned up and see what I've got. I've got a awesome seat for it, but its red and black. May put it in and toss a cover over it. Got a...

2-6-2014 Finally got it home tonight! Drives pretty nice considering the tires are junk. I didn't get on it too much but it feels pretty strong. Shifter is gonna have to have some work, its either wore out, out of adjustment, about to fall out, or all three. A shot with my other truck...

I'm new here, so I'll be playing a little catch up posting this build thread up to date, I've been working on the truck for a few months now off and on. Lets play catch up. 1-22-2014 Picked up another truck the other day. After a couple of years of big plans and never working on my '69 I...

Just rolled into the place from Franklin, NC, on the western end of the state. Never really applied the "rat rod" name to my builds, I've always classified it as more of just old school, patina'd hot rods. But from looking around here, my builds should hopefully fit in just fine :D I've also...
