This is a super cool truck.. I have had many and this one seems to get more looks, comments, horn honks than any !Please do not buy this and think you are getting a nut and bolt restored truck... It is very nice and way better than most of the junky rat rods I see... But it is not new, and it is not perfect. I have tried to describe it to the best of my ability.
