4x4 Rat

[ivanogburn]

Anyone ever take a 30s-40s sedan and turn it into a raised 4x4?
I couldn't find anything with a search, but I sure would like to see how they turn out.

My old ride.

I put this 1927 ford coupe on a 1981 CJ7 chassis back in 2000.
Funny part is that it fit that cj7 chassis like it was made for it.[
It had the 153 4cyl engine with 4 speed manual trans.
I had a lot of fun with it,then sold body to streetrod guy and parted out jeep chassis.

I have a buddy who put about a 30 Plymouth sedan on an early 80's Wagoneer frame. He kept the axles and the xfer case but changed the engine / trans. to a 455 Pontiac / Turbo 400. He did nice job too. It ran great and looked good.

I know someone with a Model A sedan built into a mud truck. They split the body and added in to make it wider for more room inside and the fenders to cover some of the tires. I think it would look nicer the stock width and narrower axles though.
I had a bucket T body on a Jeep chassis, it was for off road only and had no fenders. Had a lot of fun with that thing!

I am thinking about buying a 1940 Chevy sedan and mounting it on a 80s Chevy 4x4 frame. But I am sure I would catch heck from the truck folks, the hot rodders, the rat rodders and everyone else!

This 1937 ford is pretty crazy right here in NH , he competed in the tough truck challenge in 2010.

I'd like to see it done. I have an extra 89 Trooper sitting around. Thought about putting something interesting on the chassis.

4x4 rat

I know you asked for 20-30's but I thought I would post up a buddys 4x4.

 

[ivanogburn]

Yes trucks look great that way and are somewhat normal but this is what I was thinking of.

Man, I DIG that "T." And I totally hate "Mud Boggers." That's just too cool not to like! [[cl

Whenever I can find myself a new house with a bigger shop I think that is going to be the fate of my old Jeep. Put some sort of truck body on it.....

The guy that does my sand blasting has a 38 Chevy coupe on an old Blazer 4x4 frame and suspension.......next time I go there I will shoot some pics.
