What you guys think? I think that would a wicked fun project if I had the time and money.

 

It would make a great project but sure would be a lot of work...

 

That's what my truck look like when i bought it, it started life as ans f-2 and all the tow truck stuff was gone but the frame was all there.

 

You have me worried. When I first saw the title of your post I thought you might be referring to this beast:

Two goofs already have it bid up to almost $4500 but I have a feeling they might be bogus bidders.

 

Now this is kind of cool, I could see it being used for a lot of things:

I would not mind having it , but I found out what vacations are this year. Now I also know how much they cost?

 

Haha, come on Bob, not your cup of tea? haha. I bet you those wheels arn't even on the truck, they are just laying against it and the truck is just sunk into the ground. I would only buy that thing for parts. But I would never pay more then a grand for it.

 

That the thing with the RatRod movement, those guys can take any nice ride and ruin it in a hurry making it worthless. That is why there are so many for sale real cheap. Even the ratters don't like them after they build them. Some guys think a ground drop and a 12 pack of black primer to cover all the poor planning and welding on the ride is going to appeal to somebody. RatRod is just another way to say " I aint got no money or taste or skills" I wish they would stick to 1/24 scale models so we could all be safer and the old iron could be saved.

A-Men............. You forgot Poser.......

 

By The Way - That F-6 is Way Cool - Watta beautiful sight seein that fine Grille sportin the Big Duty !!!

Not too many of those around anymore........

 

Yup, the tow truck is fine. I like them alot. I just popped on the wrong link and went off on that fugly Ratrod and did not even see the towtruck. My bad!!! Me so sorry guys.
I would sure like a 3/4 tonner with the rounded side rails on the bed. I recall them from the 50's and most had the geared down hand cranked winch. (like the green 50 in Bob's website)

 

I like that F6, I would love to drive it to the local Friday get together over at Wallmart.

 

The F-6 is too cool, drive it to a show/swap meet and drag one back home with you. Now that's the way to plan ahead. "Well honey, it's not my fault, it followed me home," it could happen.
Later, Mike

 

Really cool ol project for sure

 

A lot of work to make it correct, but what a
smile on your face when you pull yours friends
