WARNING DON"T LOOK!!!

I warned you. This was post on FB and I just had to post it here to see what the reaction would be The person said he's going to mount the box sitting behind this rat rod and it should be done by this weekend.



I think the term, "If you can do it doesn't mean you should" fits perfectly here.

A little farther down the post the guy did post a picture of the finished project, it didn't get any better, IMO.

This is where a RAM and an old Ford truck meet. You will probably not want to save this location to your GPS.

When you said it was where a RAM and old Ford met, I thought you meant it was a wreck. I didn't realize it was going to be a train wreck.

Thats a good start. Now he just needs to swap in the cab, frame, and motor and he will have a truck worth driving.

I think he was trying to increase the value of his truck by adding Ford parts. Can't say I blame him.
