Thanks guys. I like working with wood. It seems more real than steel.

Looks good!

Looks good.

I never put an overflow bottle on it. I rigged up this.

Looking cool man.....

I love those bottles

Does that overflow bottle make it an official ratrod?

Could be.

I had a really cool glass bottle that Amy and I got when we drove down into Mexico on vacation. It was a 16 oz mineral water bottle. I had it on the 34 I use to have. On the way to Beatersville I hit a huge chug hole and the grille shell flexed and the fan hit the bottle. It blew apart like a grenade. I was a little upset. I liked that rat rod bottle.

Nice

I'm at Lowe's today grabbing some 2X4's and drywall. While I'm loading it this guy yells out "That doesn't look like no work truck to me!" I beg to differ, It's a truck and it's hauling what I need!

I got the wheels and caps ya need.....Wheel Vintique with Chev Bowtie caps, Only have 2 rear Bias Ply's rear and all 4 Port-a-walls.....

PM my what you would have to have for them. Not much on the bias tires due to driving the eyeballs out of it but they would do for now. The rims may work well but I'd have to loose the red

I passed you today in my big brown Ram 1500. My work truck was jealous of yours!

Bed turned out nice. The wood looks great. I really dig the tool box idea too. The Stone bottle makes me thirsty. A.B. is one of my favorite beers.

A.B. is definitely a good beer but for me its something that I really have to crave.

I must be a sissy like the bottle said cause that brew is harsh on me. I'll stick to the home made white lightning I guess. It's smoother.

Is it bad that everytime I see a A.B. bottle I think of mini truckers? Only people I ever knew who drank it.

I just thought Steve was hinting to people that the truck had a dakota frame.

Id love some of that clear smooth mountain dew.

just picked up some Apple Pie and Cherries for the pumpkin run.....

One of these days I'll have to try these libations that you all talk about so much.

Yum...apple pie

I ripped a few 2X4 and slapped some racks together for the truck. Nothing fancy. I can take them on and off depending on what look I want. The bed floor is so hi that they will help haul stuff if it's a little tall or if I need something to tie to.

It's always a family affair when we are working on something. Aryan wanted to sand the ink marks out of the wood.


Wear your eye protection? Too late!


That's better!

It went pretty fast. I set up the boards, drilled the holes and Amy came right in behind me with carriage bolts and nuts to hold everything together.
