Here is a little segment I want to add that consists of what we went through to extact the rock crusher 4-speed muncie that's in the car!!!! When building a rat rod half the fun is where you find the parts...it always seems to be an adventure for example...here is an example of one that stands out to me...Enjoy...hell of a day this was:

We decided after much thought and a couple beers, we didnt want to crawl under the truck out in the middle of a field...so we decided to just have a bit of fun and flip it over....can you blame me???

And yes folks, everything from the shifter to the shift knob was even used..so nothing went to waste here..after careful modification of course..oh and didn I mention that the cab lights from this exact truck have been modified to tail lights??..the stories are endless and I must say this was the most fun I'd ever had building a car...thanks for checking it out!
