I have updated this and finished the full windshield in the truck and attached a picture asbwell.

Well sorted and turn key rat rod for sale. This vehicle needs nothing and can be driven where ever you need to go as long as there is no moisture on the ground or falling from the sky. It is missing s few creature comforts like a heater, windshield wipers and side and back windows but, that does not stop my wife and I from driving this every chance we get. She absolutely loves it and does not want me to get rid of it. It gets more smiles, looks, pictures, people pointing and thumbs up than any other car or race car that I have owned. I made an effort to be debt free and would like my wife to be as well. That is the main reason for selling. Again we love this vehicle and all the fun times we have had in it together. It is just a blast to drive.

Here is the long list of details

I am sure there is more but, that is most of the build details. We put ove 3000 miles on this truck in the past year and a half. With the previous engine setup it made 800hp 556tq and took it like a champ. So I trust this chassis to take us anywhere at any time. Honest and forthright seller. I have nothing to hide and will gladly share any details of the build. This is a true turn key, drama free vehicle. Fire it up and enjoy smiles for miles.

I am also willing to consider trades and trades plus cash as well.

I am looking for a 1930's-1950's running pickup
A running, non POS motorhome
18' or larger two axle flat bed car trailer
School bus(prefer a diesel, or not a completely trashed out gasoline example with problems)
Mechanically injected, turbocharged diesel pickup truck
A nice fuel injected 1/2 ton or larger pickup
A nice carbureted 3/4 ton or larger pickup
A diesel step van

Or a vintage 60's or 70's Japanese car or pickup

So as you can see, I need a tow rig and a trailer. If you can meet me part of the way on either with cash or have a combo that will work well for me I am willing to take a look.
