are those chevy/gmc fenders on that ford truck? they would have to go! needs a PI then an offer. looks like a lot more truck for the money then the last few trucks that have been posted on this site. interesting find.
Yuck – who wants late ’50s GM fenders on a Ford truck? Reminds of the ’72 Ford F100 I saw this morning on my walk with an ’88-newer GMC step side bed on it. Absolutely awful.
Looks like some drug-fried customizer had a whack at it. Six grand? NO WAY. It’s a $600 parts car, if that. YUK is right.
You really need to share your source for classic cars, because if your evaluations are based on real life I want in on some of that action.
Where I’m from 6 bills wouldn’t get you the seats out of this truck.
Looks to me like you could have a decent truck just by putting the correct bed on it. They do call it a rat rod.
Sorry, I call it a parts car (same thing).
Caddy steering wheel. Brake pedal out of a Caddy also?
come on guys if it is dependable it is probably due tothe slight pieces of gm!!! unless it is sub-framed the 57-67 ford trucks were the all time worse driving and handlng ford trucks ever
Since the pics don’t show much of importance ( drive train and undercarriage) it’s hard to tell what your options are. At $5,200 I guess you would be OK to goof around in it on the cheap since a nice truck would be $15000+

Johnny Cash Pickup….”Got it one piece at a time” !
Easily worth the money as a daily driver. As long as the description is correct.
Lose the fenders for sure.
I’d bet the owner is a retired truck driver. The aluminum saddle tank(s), the “twin chimney’s, the chrome “Signal-Stat 900” turn signal. I like it. Who cares if it has Chevy fenders, it looks great. I bet a lot of work went into this, and it probably is a great cruiser.
If he’s not lying and is dependable and frame is rust free than another FORD bed would make for a nice driver. 5K tops.
I like it and think it looks to good to be called a rat rod more of a custom
It is just one mans impression of a custom the price seems fair and when you get it home you change it in what ever way you want. For the price it is a good start, for me I’d lose the stuff on the back and seek out a Ford step side bed.
New years resolution – Never ever use the words rat rod, barn find or patina again . . . unless they truly apply!
And if all else fails, just call it JUNK.
Any town that has the word “knob” in their name = internet gold.
Don’t be so hard on the owner. After all, he put his lifetime collection of JC Whitney parts into this…thing!
Right – or, an exercise in spending money
Talk is cheap. All you haters- show us your customs, please. Otherwise shut up.
Scratch that – don’t show us any “customs”, please.
