Okay i am building my first rat truck, never built any thing like this before. Built a few harleys and have gone to school for auto body repair back in minnesota where i worked in a few shops doing everything from sectioning to frame repair. Due to medical problems i had to stop doing that work and now miss it so 7 years later i bought a rusty crust old 52 f1 ! had no frame or any thing just the cab fenders and bed, whats left of the stuff.
I am going to put it on a 84 ranger frame. The motor is coming from Maryland, a 1950 flat head inline 6 with the 3 speed trans still attached to it, for the price of 75$. Yep Its been in a clean dry garage since 1996 when it was removed from a Deluxe that was getting a V8 flatt with a over drive trans. so with some good luck it will run..
If you live in the area let me know what you are working on and i might be able to help and i know i will be needing help!
Thanks
Randy
