28 Reo RatRod Pickup

[klink]

Good choice for the frame. How long is it? It looks a little short in the pictures...

 

[ReoRatRod]

As far as axels go you can use any from trucks to cars even after market old trucks tend to be chepper than model A's there easy to mount I can post some pics if you need an disk break kits are avalable as for the rear just get one that will match the bolt pattern of the front for ease of wheels

id love to see some pics if you don't mind thanks for the help.

Looks like a cool project.

Grind that rust off about and inch back before you go to welding, it will make your life easier in the long run.
