This will be my first try at a Rat Rod. I found a rusty old 54 Chevy truck and paid scrape price for it $375, its a stack bodied dually, but not sure it thats how it started, has longer bed style running boards and the bed part is all wood, no metal framing like my stock 1950. Plans are to use as much of a 77 Lemans I have for parts. I've been into Pontiacs as since dad took us to the drive in, in his 69 Grand Prix to watch Smokey and the Bandit. I have complete Pontiac drive line to use, 400 engine, turbo 400 trans, and 10 bolt GM rear. I want to kind of back half the truck, like a prostreeter, only use the section of the Lemans frame, so it has a 4 link coil spring GM factory setup. I'll document everything with pics as I go. I'm currently stripping the Lemans down to the frame, so thats not really interesting to see, the trucks next.
