Brace yourselves!!!!

I stumbled upon this on my local Craigslist. For a mere $1500 it could be yours.....

Those of you with week hearts might ought to have a seat and hold onto something....
1955 ford custom bed!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



This is a fine example of Albuquerque south valley custom work, probably was mounted on a truck equipped with teense weensy little tires mounted on True-Spoke wheels (without the center caps.....I don't think I've ever seen a lowrider with True-Spokes that actually had center caps....they even steal them from each other).

"Ay chingao, put attenchun to the deetail, that will make that pinche truck muy chingon"

Wonder if the neighbor has missed their porch lights yet?

Early morning conversation in Home Depot parking lot: " Hey, any of you guys know how to remove porch railings and lights?"
... and later that afternoon: "now put the scrap on my little utility trailer and tow it to the dump before you go home."
" ...he never said to bring the trailer back did he?"

Look REALLY close...

I see two sets of fenders and I think I see ROPE holding the bed to the frame in the front. Or is that the rear? And it has a white wagon wheel style rim on one side and a solid rim on the other.

Classy!
