Welcome to the Nation. I was about to ask the same question, but got dizzy hanging upside down. Not only is the truck kool but the shop is super looking.

Thanks guys. Not sure why pic turned upside down Glad to be on here with so many people who understand the meaning of rat rods. This truck i just started. Its a 36 chevy from N. Dakota. I Have a metal shop so i want this truck to resemble a working rat shop truck. I will keep posting pics there is a lot going on with this and is a blast to build. I WILL have it done this summer. Most interesting is the hand crank dump mechanism that i made functional

welcome to the nation Metalshop, it's great to meet you. Love the truck build. That is a wicked build, love all the little things you placed around the truck.

It is a rare few who understand the meaning of rat rods.

Sweet truck. Welcome aboard the crazy train.

The cattle skull reminded me of Wyoming. Don't know why?

?

hotwheels · « **Reply #13 on:** April 10, 2013, 07:22:49 AM »

Cause wyoming is a cow skull. We should have that on our license plates.

oldskool49 · « **Reply #14 on:** April 10, 2013, 10:16:16 AM »

I have seen them at different shows with some type of art work and asking $100's for them.

Metalshop · « **Reply #15 on:** April 10, 2013, 12:11:26 PM »

Thanks again. That skull was the first thing I bought. Even before the truck. I found it at a flea market for $20 lol. I just lettered my doors too lol. That's free hand plasma cut stainless riveted on. This is a blast

oldskool49 · « **Reply #16 on:** April 10, 2013, 01:17:31 PM »

That holding the skull, piston sleeve? If so I have seen them chromed and used as tail pipe hangers.
Best part of recycling.

They're connecting rods from a small block Chevy. I have them welder all over the truck. And I agree they would make great exhaust hangers. Apparently when I post pics with my phone they sometimes rotate.

Welcome,Cool truck

Welcome to the group. I just got here myself.

That is going to be one great shop/work rat. The tilt bed with the old gears was a nice touch.

Metalshop · « **Reply #20 on:** April 16, 2013, 02:20:30 PM »

Thanks again guys feel rite at home here. I will keep posting pics as i get more done. i finally got doors mounted and functional as well as found a nice old copper fire extinguisher and installed it. Air bags came and now i will make the suspension, controll arms for front and some type of ladder bars for rear i guess.
