Hey Ratstu, those are some killer rides you have built. I have seen some of them around at shows, love that shoebox. I heard a rumour around town that the Stude may be for sale, used to see her at the track runnin in the 10's, sweet ride.
Thanks for the compliments "Custom 54", and yes for the right $ I would probably let the 53 Stude go. I put allot of work into it, would be a sad day, but you can only have so many rides .......
Okay, I will get the word out that the "original" Ratstu is for sale. It has Corvette rear suspension and 6 speed doesn't it?
What year is that one? I had a 52 Fargo was my first truck I bought it when I was 13 with my newspaper money. Mine didnt have park lamps though. Other than that looks the same.
It's a 50 Fargo. I bought a go-kart with my newspaper money when I was 14, then got a real job when I turned 15 and at 17 I can finally afford a decent old truck. Had a blast with it so far... Mike
those are some keen rides, you guys in canadia know how to keep it hot in the cold and thats what its all aboat ay
Heres my daily driver 64 Chev 1/2ton...unfortunately(for this forum) its EFI'd up, but it gets me through 30* summers and -30* winters with no fiddlin !! It'll soon be hauling parts for a Model A project that I'm looking for. Anyone with a Coupe ?? Or T coupe drop me a line. oh ya and primer + winter in Calgary = baaaaaad its a lot "redder" now
