1948 diamond t hot rod rat rod trade (lukeville az)

Tired of the same old type Rad Rat, not roadworthy, with small block chevy! I have it here:
A 1948 Diamond-T old school rod, powered by a 268 cu. in. straight 8 w/ a 3 speed transmission. Fabricated by myself. Uncut stock height 48 Diamond-T cab channeled over custom built 2x3 steel frame 1.20 wall, 4" kick front and a 14 kick rear. Front sup. 5" dropped axle w/ ford spindles and GM disc brakes, dual master cyl. w/ power booster, new steering gear and drag links, S-10 chevy rear axle and springs. Aluminum wheel adapters for the ford wired wheels, w/ firestone tires, rib front, knobby rear, wheel adapters have chev. and ford bolt pattern. So you have a choice to run different wheels and tires.
Pontiac straight 8 engine, complete rebuild, cyls. .030 over, block line board, head resurfaced, new pistons and pins, rods resized, new pin bushings, crank turned .10-10. New S/S valves, new springs, harden valve seats. Cam reground by isky w/ longer duration for a great lopy sound. New water pump, oil pump, flywheel resurfaced, new clutch disc, throw out bearing and rebuilt pressure plate. Stock 3 speed trans., with custom shifter.
NOS. Mallory dual point dist. Starter and Alt. new 12v. Aluminum radiator with electric fan. I built the log manifold with dual NOS Holley side draft carbs., that were used on Sherman tanks. I built the headers with 2 collectors 4 into 1 with dual flame throwers.
Cab and Rad. are stock, w/ tilt open windshields. Custom built bed, beer keg fuel tank, huge center bus stop light, running lights and turn signals, are made from baby food jars, with yellow bulbs. Turn signal light on front grill with arrows. A kick stand on drivers side for parking. It runs, stops, and drives great. For longer trips tire and wheels can be changed. 14,000.00
It has proper VIN # with clear AZ title not salvage or reman.
