46 ih kb1 mil-RAT

[lilbean]

I have a 46 IH KB1 that started out its journey in South Dakota. After it was bought, i had it shipped to south Louisiana where it began it's evolution into my rat rod. I started by stripping the cab and bed off of the old chassis and marying it to a custom built 2X3 square tubing chassis. Next, i junked the old inline flat head 6 for a 400 Chrylser BB with a 727 tranny . My overall goal is to have it wired, running, and semi complete by March 6th for the Boneyard Kreepers Show in Galliano, LA.

feel free to leave comment, suggestions, and advice.

below are the evolutions of my rat

Nice! - I'm liking what your doing to the KB. From the Dakota's? Lots of good trucks still up there from what I've found online. If you don't mind telling us - how much did it run you to have it shipped?
