Last year I went to the Jefferson Wisconsin spring swap meet and saw what I thought had to be the ugliest truck I have ever seen. Last year the guy had a "For Sale" sign on it with a price of something like $22K. At the time I didn't have a camera to take pictures of it. It was back again this year and I had my newest toy with me, or as I tell the IRS, my new business tool, a cell phone with camera so I was able to snap some pictures of it. This guy put a lot of work into this thing but it just doesn't do it for me.

The is a cab and pieces of hood from a '51 or '52 Ford truck in there:













Here's the trailer he pulls behind:

 

What? NO Immediate competition!

You win Bob!

what are all those vents? or what are they all over the cab??

Makes my 57 look sweet

 

Actually that thing has some potential to be pretty cool if the guy would get rid of the door ***** and do a little cosmetic work. So this is what they really mean by rat rod??? I would be tempted to build something like that for the fun of it. I think it would really be cool if it kicked everything on the street.

 

personally i see lots of potential there . just needs some of the "goofy crap " done away with . j those vents are louvers . lots of the old rods and customs sported 'em . it's a dying art and id sure like to know who did 'em .... the darkness calls me forth !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

look at all the biffies for the vomitors! lol.

 

That thing is FUGLY!

He must have a louver die, though. The door ***** are kinda cool.

This is one of those trucks you like to see and get ideas off of. I would just never think to put all those ideas on the same truck!

 

Bob if you took those pictures with a cell phone camera I'm totally impressed. My Motorola Razor doesn't do that good.

 

It could grow on me.... but lose the louvers! Re: the doorknobs, at least they don't sag!

What's the drivetrain?

 

I built this thing out of stuff laying around the back yard 36 years ago. It was street legal and I drove it for over a year.

 

It sure looks at home in the mud... I do like the bicycle tire steering wheel cover.

 

I agree with dave...although not realy my taste, it seems that the thing was built to display artistic interpretation rather than a total cool factor....some neat ideas none the less.

 

Now I know what to do with that 49 Chevy truck if I can't unload it...

 

I t actually might start to look pretty cool if you were to put a set of 34 Ford car fenders over the front wheels....Maybe....... a little?

 

I think that thing should have been parked across the street, woulda fit in better
