1945 Ford Rat Rod

1945 Ford Rat Rod, Hot Rod Truck . The cab is from a 1945 Ford all-wheel drive 1 1/2 ton Army truck from WW2. It still has the military ID plate with instructions on how to operate the transfer case ect. Post vin was originally the military vin but has since been out of commission with a new vin for license and reg. The big truck cabs are the same size as the 1/2 ton cabs, The cab top has been chopped 8', the roof has been cut out and covered with a truck bed cover material with polished snaps every 6 inches. Rear mail-slot rear window with no side windows. Window channels are finished so side windows can be installed if you want them. Door handles and mirrors are built from original 'S' bend wrenches. The floor and transmission/drive shaft tunnel are custom made out of heavy gauge sheeting w/ 1' square tubing frame work under it. All rust from the original body was cut out and patched with new steel but the dings and dents of the body were untouched to leave character. The air cleaner was fabricated from an old stainless steel fire extinguisher and still has the original tag on it. The bed is from a 1939 Dodge, bed was shortened 30' just short enough to hide the rear suspension. The chassis is a custom HD frame. 6' Z in the front and 22' Z in the rear. Rear end is a triangulated 4 link and QA1 coil over shocks on a 9' ford with nodil 4.10 posi with 31 spline strange engineering super street axles. It has new tremex TKO 600 close ratio 5 speed transmission behind a newly rebuilt 1956 Chrysler Imperial Fire Power HEMI. This truck will pull people off of any other car at any show. -Vehicle is on consignment and at our clients home -Please Call First and talk to a rep at 231-468-2809 EXT 1 -Showroom is by appointment only Please Call -If you would like a FREE Listing please visit our consignment page or CallDoors: 2
