Just picked up a 40 ford cab for 200 with title.
the plan is to start a rat rod build as soon as some funding comes in.
the plan was to use a VW front beam with a 4cly diesel engine for a fuel effecent rod,
but then the idea changed to putting the cab on a vw pan with the air colled vw engine and hidding the engine with a bed and slamming the front beam to the front of the cab.
but now im looking at a old ford rv with a 460 with 80k on it that is just the E-series cab with flat bed. 1 ton. the guy wants 900. so i would z the frame and shorten it and mount the 40 cab on it.
but im so indecisive ill probably change my mind next week.
i just want to do something extremely different and anyone else. i guess we'll see after next pay day.
ill get some pics up of the cab.
