Hey guys, im back in the truck scene after selling the GTO and taking some time to think about what i want to do.
im looking to make a "rat" style truck out of an OBS 2wd truck. im wondering if anyone has any pics of rat rod inspired trucks.
im just starting to plan out what i wanted, and as it would figure i found the perfect truck for my plans before i got the money (so naturally it will be gone before i can pick it up).
either way. if anyone has any rat inspired OBS truck pics id love to see them.

That's exactly the truck I was gonna post. Not sure if he still comes around here. I haven't seen him in a loooooooong time.Originally Posted by monkeyoflove

I had a sick flat black one with pinstriping and baby moons saved, but am still searching for it.

Haven't seen him in so long I forgot his nick? likaroc13 or something like that? Anyhow, met him years ago when I lived in TN, he came over to buy some steelies from me. Real nice guy and a cool truck.

i've never seen that truck before, but i;d love to see more like it.
71 Chevelle 454
03 rcsb, 06 clip/tails, HD hood, 22's, Esky handles, Alpine head unit, 5% tint, clear corners, 8K HID's, FM50, 2" rear drop, debadged, BlackBear Tuned!
thats exactly the style im looking for... great looking truck.
what do you guys think of a lowered rcLB ? i think a shortbed is best, but long bed can fit a good bit of junk in back and i found a VERY solid starter truck with low miles. only draw back is the bed is SOOOOOOO long.

Longbeds don't bother me, my last daily was an extended cab longbed. Almost every time I go to haul something now I hate that I have a shortbed. Short trucks look sportier but there's something badass about a loooooong lowered vehicle, whether it's a truck or car.

i've got a pic at home of an s-10 with a modified bumper off of an old car of some sort and it actually looked really cool..i'll post it when i get home..i know its not a fullsize but it was a neat idea
yeah i was a little offput by the look of the longbed at first. but then was looking around while driving today (i drive a ton for work) and i think they have potential. it will look lower without being quite as low which is good for me because i want to do static drop only.
the extra cargo room is another great point. i have a colorado for work and its a quad cab with the short bed. and i cant fit crap in it and it annoys me. i think i can also find some cool uses and things to fill the long bed that will be cool permanent in bed mountain bike racks perhaps.
sounds like a good concept.
i dont fit in any of the S10 trucks bc im a big guy, but i do love the look of them. (im 6'8 and near 300 lbs so s10 is out for me lol) but i fit just fine in my old RCSB silverado.
i look forward to the pic

Nah. Sure he has a Rat Fink on his tonneau, but that nice paintjob keeps it out of rat rod territory.Mr Flames....
I was looking more at the rake along with the meats in the back profile.

a tubbed pickup truck with thin goofy flames..IMO, whats soo special?
ummm, maybe the fact that it's BADASS...
it is but it would be waaaaay more badass with a giant blower bustin through the hood.....maybe even dual blowers like thiss
