Rusted Out 1956 F-100 Rat Rod is More Than it Seems

Rusted Out 1956 F-100 Rat Rod is More Than it Seems
By Brett Foote

This classic truck just wears its age on the outside. Because after all isn't it best to always be young at heart?

I don't know if that is real patina or faux-tina but it looks good.

I know that chrome grilles were optional in 56, But why put a shiny new chrome grille on an old looking unpainted truck. Furthermore, why put shiny stainless bumpers on a stock looking unpainted truck..... Not to mention the step plates on the running boards.

I just don't get the "patina" fad, especially if it's fake or on a truck with a load of modifications.
